Jared Henderson | 8 Great Books You Can Read In A Day @_jared | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
There are some terrific books under 300 pages, and today I'm sharing 7 of them with you. These books don't compromise on quality or literary value — if anything, their length just shows how good the authors are at their craft.

And yes, in the video I said I was recommending seven books instead of eight. Mea culpa!

6:56 Some Existentialism
