On short reads

We should probably keep this post concise, in the spirit of what it's discussing, right?

Paul Daley wrote an ode to the delights of short novels that can be read in a single sitting, for the Guardian.

And just a day later, BookRiot shared a list of bite-sized summer reads (though they're all full books ... just ones that are built of short stories or essays).

Feel free to drop your own recommendations in the comments or on our Facebook post about books that have been enjoyed in one sitting.
