    Please suggest me books that I can slip in my pocket for a short commute (20-25 minutes)

    I’ve drifted away from reading since I was younger, but I’m trying to get back into it.

    I’m really open to anything, fiction, non-fiction, history, crime, humorous, philosophy, science fiction, self help, thrillers, the natural world.

    Some books I’ve read over recent years and really enjoyed:

    Pop 1280

    The White Ship

    The Power Of Geography

    Sapiens

    Blood and Sand

    The Shortest History of Germany

    More: The 10000 Year Rise Of The World Economy

    Hellraisers: The Life and Inebriated Times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Oliver Reed

    Seeds of Change: Five Plants That Transformed Mankind

    1. Look at Penguin’s little black classics – I can slip those in my pockets and I wear women’s clothes so you know they’re dainty. 

      If you do get back into reading, there are some tiny e-readers around – might be worth the investment to put whatever book you like in your pocket?

      Def get an ereader unless you hate them. If you dislike Amazon check out Kobo.

      Classics:
      – Of Mice and Men
      – The Pearl
      – The Old Man and the Sea.
