Great Short Books: A Year of Reading—Briefly

It's obvious I should keep this short.

Books under 200 pages and tell a powerful story...that's the criteria Kenneth C. Davis uses to make his list of great short books. He also chose to skip books he'd already read and short story collections.

There is, then, this list.

For each of the fifty-eight books he features in the book, Davis shares the first lines, a plot summary, information about the author, reasons for reading the book, and what to read next.
