Weekend Reads: Books You'll Finish in a Day
Not every book needs to be a 600-page commitment. These are the ones you can start on Saturday morning and finish by Sunday night. Short doesn't mean shallow -- each of these punches well above its page count.
1
Do Interesting
Under 150 pages and every one of them counts. You'll finish this in an afternoon and immediately want to make something. The highest idea-per-page ratio on the shelf.
2
Do Purpose
Hieatt writes like a poet who accidentally ended up in business. Short, punchy chapters that you can read in any order. Perfect for a Sunday morning with a hot chocolate.
3
Do Open
Building in public before it was a hashtag. Another compact Hieatt book that's all signal, no padding. Read it in one sitting and you'll rethink how you share your work.
4
The Art of Noticing
136 pages of exercises and provocations that will change how you walk through the world. Read a few chapters, then go outside and try them. The perfect active weekend read.
5
Essentialism
One big idea, clearly expressed. The disciplined pursuit of less. You'll read it in a day and spend the next week rethinking your entire to-do list.
6
Bad Blood
A thriller disguised as journalism. The Theranos story is so outrageous you'll forget it's non-fiction. The fastest 350 pages you'll ever read.
