I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.

I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I’m open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

    Fahrenheit 451, really awesome dystopia that predicted a lot of things in our modern era

      Yes, everytime 1984 comes up I think of Fahrenheit which is much, much closer to the western world.

        The Brits and the right are certainly chasing after that 1984 ideology though. Orwell is a fantastic writer, and 1984 is leagues above Fahrenheit 451 as a work of literature.
