I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.

I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I’m open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

    Raymond Chandler’s novels, esp The Lady in the Lake

    The Pirx the Pilot stories, 8 in 2 volumes

    Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key

    2nd the Hitchhiker’s Guide and they’re easy to rejoin

    A A Fair’s novels are short and have odd western us lore in them, one has a great way to bet in Vegas, others name spots in Mexico, they were Gardner’s fun books that he liked to write more than other series.
