From a non-fiction point of view, the Penguin series of "Great Ideas" from classic authors are all around 100 pages long: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/30869.Penguin_Great_Ideas For more contemporary writers, there's the "Penguin Specials" series, again a non-fiction series of ~100 words: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/brands/penguin-specials There's also the Very Short Introductions series, which are usually slightly longer (~150 pages) but can still typically be read in a couple of hours owing to large font sizes and pictures: https://www.goodreads.com/series/54458-very-short-introductions Some concrete recommendations from what I've read, enjoyed, and which would be good to start a discussion around: We Should all be Feminists The Outsider Kill All Normies The Death of Ivan Ilych

mdemone posted:Yep, I was already eyeing We Should All Be Feminists, so I'll definitely be giving that out. Good to hear it was worthwhile, I guess I kind of worried it would be...I don't know, a little too "beginner"? I'll be giving it to someone who is just discovering actual feminism and applying it to her own experiences, so maybe something high-level and simple is just the thing. Oh it's definitely entry-level. When you said "family"I was picturing middle-aged uncles who have probably never read anything positive about feminism in their lives, but if it's someone who's already starting engaging with feminism then there might not be much there to challenge them. Still, at 50 pages I don't think there's any reason not to give it a read.
