    I set my goals on reading 35 books this year, but I'm 10 books behind, not looking good.

    Try some classic novellas. The Old Man and the Sea, The Metamorphosis, Heart of Darkness, etc. Super short but still classics.

    I've read the Hemingway one a couple of years ago. I want to read the second one soon, I'm new to the author. Also want to read the trial real bad.

    I'm going to give this one a try: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3636.The_Giver
    Looks light enough. I'm not sure about the young adult genre, but it might surprise me.

    Read this in grade school. Fell in love with dystopian fiction afterword. No clue if it holds up.

    I plead guilty to the whole Hunger Games (book) mania. I read those suckers compulsively.

    "I’ve learned I think I’ve learned from novels. It has to do with empathy. It has to do with being comfortable with the notion that the world is complicated and full of grays, but there’s still truth there to be found, and that you have to strive for that and work for that." http://www2.nybooks.com/articles/s3...-obama-marilynne-robinson-conversation-2.html

    The Looting Machine by Tom Burgis. It's the only book that I'm reading for one of my classes that I am actually taking the time to sit through and read normally because it's interesting.
