Answers & Comments
Verified answer
The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass - shortest
i know things fall apart is pretty short but you should probably look it on on barnes and noble, they have t he page lengths.
also if this is ur school book list its sad that you want to read the shortest and not an actual well written good piece of american literature, i know that sounds mean but....actually look at what the books are about, not how long they are
