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.
If we’re doing short stories, I have two recommendations:
I’ve only read Ted Chiang’s exhalation, but one of the stories was the biggest thinker I’ve seen, and another was an emotional gut punch (in a good way)
The ratio of lasting impact to content length of his short stories is insane. He has no business having such compelling works being readable in a lunch break.
