If you regret not having time to read, but recoil at the thought of glancing at a tabloid in public, have no fear. There is a whole tier of literary, short-form books out there just waiting to be discovered.

Not having time to devote to War and Peace is understandable. Sometimes you have pockets of free time in your busy schedule when you'd like to be reading something, but don't have time to start (or finish) a book.

When you're on your morning commute, in the waiting room, or on your lunch hour and your soul hungers for something more than a gossip mag or your Twitter feed, we've got just the thing to feed you.

Check out these short (but still literary) reads to keep on hand the next time you're waiting for the bus.
