    Hello everyone!

    So I read on my way to and from work on the train (15 minutes approx both ways), and I always have to leave chapters half way due to length or arriving at my stop before finishing.

    I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of books that have chapters about 2 -4 pages long?
    Any genre apart from romance please. Something also that will be easily digestible after a 12 hour shift.

    I mostly use my kindle on the train as well, so KU recommendedations also appreciated x
    Thank you 🙂

    • Liz

    1. It sounds crazy to recommend a 1,000+ page book for your needs, but The Executioner’s Song by Norman Mailer would be perfect. Especially good as an ebook because the physical book is so massive 😜 It’s a Pulitzer Prize winner that is about Gary Gilmore – a violent murderer who is best known because he accepted his death sentence and wanted his execution expedited. It’s in my top 5 books of all time, and one of the reasons for that (along with excellent writing) is the unusual structure of many short paragraphs and chapters. There’s a lot of blank space in the book, so you aren’t really reading 1,000 pages, and you can easily read as little or as much as you’d like.
