Heart of Darkness may fit in the inner pocket of a reader’s jacket, but inside details deep prose as thick as a forest.

Disappointing for me tbh , i felt it was too much pf a ramble than a narrative , alot pf big words and contradicting sentences. Half the time i couldn't understand what was happening or cpuld picture the setting. Even on a poetic or thematic level it doesn't say anything.

I’ve read many of those books but they’ve all taken me a really long time to read. Maybe that was just for processing but I highly doubt I could read any of those in one day.

Importance of being earnest. Although it’s a play, it’s a short and humorous read. Took me way too long to finish it, but it’s quite short. I want to watch it irl someday.

Loved these recs! Animal Farm is still one of the best written works, very translatable and very easy to read. My kids absolutely adored this book growing up!

Another great option for a day read is H.G. Wells’ “Time Machine” brilliant writing and story work in such a short novella. You can also now say you’ve read the inspiration for Doctor Who and pretty much any franchise with time machines and/or time travel.

Fahrenheit 451 is also a good one to add to the list

Excellent selection! Every kid should have read all these books by the time they graduate high school. At my HS, we read "Animal Farm" (and "1984"), "Catcher ...", "Of Mice ...", "Lord of the Flies" by 10th grade.

As a student in Germany, I have had enough of kafka. I have been analysing his work for so many years that I'm starting to wonder of there are no other German writers. I'll stick with the other ones thank you :')

Heart of Darkness in a day might be a little ambitious if want to be able to follow the narrative

My heart. Was aching. When I first read OF MICE AND MEN, I was neither proud, nor fulfilled.

The Invisible Man by HG Wells is a quick read, genuinely hilarious, and features the most absurd angry wet cat of a man in classic lit who keeps interrupting his own dramatic speeches by sneezing. Highly recommend.

Call of the Wild by Jack London.

Thank You SO MUCH for talking and recommend Classics ❤❤❤ 😊 It's just awful how much trash YA literature it's out there and young people think is "aWeSoMe" because they haven't read the classics and therefore they don't have a reference to know what GOOD LITERATURE actually is. 😅 ❤

Thank you!

Don’t forget Fahrenheit 451!! only 180 pages but it SLAPS And is so relevant today

Journey to center of the earth is what got me to read more. Very good book

Man I’ve been wanting to get into reading and this is just what I needed. Thanks bro

Very short. Very excellent.

Great recommendations. When it comes to Joseph Conrad, I’ve always been partial to YOUTH There’s a part about feeling the passage of time that hits me every time I return to it “I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more-the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort-to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires-and expires, too soon, too soon-before life itself.”

Also Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

All quite on the Western front by Remarque

I'd say The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Tolstoy too

Old man and the sea would fit well too

You cannot read Sula in a day. You will miss the point.

So cool for Philip Roth to be included here. I feel like he's really underrated

@SerWhiskeyfeet

For any aspiring writers here’s a famous meta line about writing in one of Roth’s books: “I write a sentence and then I turn it around. Then I look at it and I turn it around again. Then I have lunch. Then I come back in and write another sentence.”

Bruv i dont know abour the other books, but I have read Kafka's Metamorphosis multiple times and each time has fucked me up real bad. Such a short book but it stays with you forever. If you were to read that book in 24 hours, that would depress you so hard and ruin your day, emotionally speaking.

In the Great Gatsby nothing happens and if you think Marlon Brando was unfathomable in Apocalypse Now, don't worry; Heart of Darkness is just as unfathomable. Catch 22 I read and then immediately re-read as I thought it was so funny and absorbing. (I have no friends to tell all this to.)

Thank you. I hated The Great Gatsby. Why would I want to read about a bunch of rich people who don’t give a crap about anyone but themselves?

the whole video i thinking The Lord of the Flys....glad you included it.

just hearing of mice and men gives me trauma, never again! thanks hs😂

You *can* read each of these in a day, but should you? They're novels (novellas in a couple of cases), not short stories - you'll never have a chance to encounter these books for the first time again, take your time, let your brain marinate, experience them at your own pace. Good books aren't a speed competition, they're the fabric of life. And this is a very good list, if a bit conservative.

I was about to embark on a 6 hour ferry journey from Oban in Scotland to the Western Isles. I picked up 'Catcher in the Rye' in a book shop for something to alleviate the boredom of the crossing. 1 hour into the journey I started staring out the window to alleviate the boredom of the book.

My hands-down favorite classic one-day reads are Old Man and the Sea and Crying of Lot 49.

Sula made me cry😢

Sula!!! It’s my 2nd favorite book

I wanna read all of em

Read most of these. I have never read “Nemesis” never even heard of it.

I'm actually reading the Lord of the flies right now. Bought it around 3 years ago but only started reading it a couple days ago. I loved the movie, so I'm really interested how the book is since I heard there were some differences.

Fabulous recommendations! I just finished A Moveable Feast. Took me a week though. 😂

Franny and Zooey is unforgettable

That's... a great list!

“Proud that you did!” We are such a performative society now. No wonder we are miserable. How about read ‘em because you will also ENJOY reading them?

The Heart of Darkness was described as the longest short novel you will ever read (or words to that effect). You may read this in a day, but you’ll be scratching your head for much longer.

Apocalypse Now is based on Heart of Darkness 😊

Did not enjoy Turn of the Screw. The plot and characters were good, somehow it was the writing. I had just read Moonstone by Collins before it and I loved that classic.

DESIDERIUM by Okezie Chinonso is also a good one.

Hard Times by Charles Dickens.

Also border town by Shen congwen

The old man and the sea.

Albert camus the stanger also rlly good and short😊

A Good Man is Hard to Find

don’t forget white nights by dostoyevski

I don’t know if “short books” = “readable” necessarily 😊 I’ve read a few of these classics and found that although they were physically short, they could be quite a slog to get through (and definitely didn’t take me only a day to read) and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them to someone starting out with classics ! I’d rather recommend something longer but more accessible, perhaps something that follows more modern storytelling structures or something more gripping 😊 Anything written by Alexandre Dumas, Stefan Zweig, Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne… 1984 by Orwell is also more gripping than Animal Farm and would therefore be “easier” to read simply because you would want to pick up the book.

I must be a slow reader :// I can’t read LOTF or the catcher in the rye in one day ????
