What are some short novels worth reading?

1. Can a book of novellas count? Because *Different Seasons* by Stephen King is amazing. Three of the four novellas were turned into movies.

2. Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It's the book the film Apocalypse Now was based on but instead of soldiers in Vietnam, it's ivory traders in The Congo.

4. Flowers for Algernon!

5. *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?* by Phillip K. Dick. It's thought-provoking, hilarious and should take less than a week to read (I finished it in a day). And it's [free online](https://www.larevuedesressources.org/IMG/pdf/dadoes.pdf)!

10. The raven by Edgar Allan Poe has never lost its appeal to me since the first time reading it as a child. The pendulum, tell tale heart, lots of his stories are so real, even if you don't like the stories you can appreciate his talent.
