I think this is the shortest classic I‘ve read (or the shortest one on my shelves, anyhow, at 92 pages).🤔

rubyslippersreads Gorgeous photo and portrait! 😍 7y
LeahBergen @ReadZenRites @rubyslippersreads Thanks! I “saved” her from an antique auction when no one was bidding on her. 😂 I call her “Daisy” as she reminds me of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. 7y

#shortestclassicyouread #MayLovesClassics
These mini penguin books were made for the 60th anniversary - here are 3 i could immediately put my hands on and the lead book is a classic - otherwise it would have been candide which i just finished as parr of the challenge.

Leftcoastzen Nice looking covers ! 7y
Aimeesue I was going to comment on the Melville, but decided that I prefer not to. 😋 7y

#Littens are over here talking about #shortestclassicyouread and I've just posted the longest classic I (so far) failed to finish to my #Instagram 🤣 The shortest classic I read is Uncle Vanya at 49 pages. Though technically a play! The next shortest was The Yellow Wallpaper at 64.
