Lazy Library is a website dedicated to recommending books that are no longer than 200
pages, on any subject, to help those that find reading to be “time
consuming”.
Like Michelle, I think it's not as dumb of an idea as it sounds at first and might have some utility in today's culture. (I had a lengthy conversation with the person who buys the majority of the fiction at our library system recently about how so many of the most popular books today tend to be the ones with short, snappy chapters. “The Da Vinci Code” is the penultimate example of this but even something like “The Road” which won the Pulitzer Prize fits this description. And have I mentioned how highly I recommend this book? So good.)
My only criticism of the site is that it could really use a browse feature to go with its search function.
