Please suggest a good easy short book

[maltesers]

I wonder if anyone can suggests really good book thats easy to read. I really should read more, but I am such an active, keepfit sort of person, my priorities dont lie with books.
My mind need exercise too so I would be most appreciative if you can recommend a good one.
I like biographies, and the psychic/clairvoyant world.
Thanks all.

Oooh maybe you'd like The Small Hand - it's only a little book, a ghost story, really good.

Would also recommend Affinity by Sarah Waters and The Little Stranger, also by Sarah Waters, although they're a bit of a longer read than the first one - both spooky and atmospheric, but not too scary for I'm a big feartie!

I should really get my head out of a book, and get out and keep fit instead .

Would a book of short stories work.

Not that I can think of any at the moment, though so a bit of a useless suggestion.

Alan Bennett - The uncommon reader. It is very short, and utterly delightful.

a jew must die - really easy to read, but thought provoking.
