Title says it all! I have always been amazed how some books manage to be enormously impactful despite (or sometimes because of) their economy of length.
What are some small books that you love Reddit?
Some I’ll start with:
Dao De Jing, Laozi
Meditations, Marcus Aurelius
On the shortness of life, Seneca
Vita Nuova, Dante
The Sorrows of Young Werther, Goethe
L’Etranger, Camus

Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These.
I’m in love with Terence Rattigan’s *Ross* (about T.E. Lawrence post-war). It’s a short play, about 70 pages, but it’s such an excellent, loving insight into everything that defined that man at that time.
