Reading the classics doesn't have to be a daunting task, in fact many of the classics are so short that you could even read them in one sitting. If you’re looking to be well read but worried about the commitment, consider one of these three classics that are surprisingly short and definitely worth the read.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (180 pages) Often referred to as “The Great American Novel,” The Great Gatsby is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpieces, and at a mere 180 pages it’s a much smaller investment than most people think it to be. A cautionary tale of obsessive love and the demise it leads to, and so so much more.
The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (96 pages) By all accounts The Sorrows of Young Werther is a depressing tale that shouldn’t be read if you’re looking to be uplifted, but it’s a timeless classic that’s well were the mere 96 pages it’s printed on. When Werther becomes friends with a young girl he’s fallen in love with and her fiance, things get messy rather quickly.
War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells (160 pages) The classic tale of alien invasion that sparked panic on more than one occasion when broadcast on the radio. Want to know what all the fuss was about? It’ll only take you 160 pages to find out.
