on average people read 40-60 pages an hour, so this is a continuously updated collection of books with 60 pages or less & a couple short story collections
π Novelette : Stories that refuse to Overstay
A novel is a prose work typically above 40k words, though many fall between 60-100k. Anything between roughly 17k and 40k words is generally considered a novella, while works between about 7k and 17k words are classified as novelettes, with some flexibility ~
TL;DR - short stories with 7k-17k words. Get out of that slump.

Guillermo del Toroβs Required Reading
A collection of Guillermo Del Toroβs required reading!
This list is from an interview he did with Jack Edwards on his YouTube. You can find the video here
In the video he mentions some authors instead of books so I chose some the popular ones or collections.
If anyone has seen any other interviews where he mentions other books let me know and Iβll add them!
Note: These are not books written by him, but books he recommends.
