Looking for book recommendations. :)

Given my cognitive difficulties¹, I'm especially looking for books with short chapters.² So there should usually be a "natural" break at least every ten minutes.

_

¹ even more so now that I'm currently changing/reevaluating meds

² or at least short scenes/sections

Nobody, and I mean nobody, comes close to his brilliance and his skill in Humanity.

Maybe you could start reading a sample of Guards! Guards! or Wyrd Sisters, which are already in the "mature" phase while still being side-splittingly funny, to see if his paragraph-based approach works?

Single issues can be typically read in 10 minutes or less. They usually have such breaks since most were written as monthly or quarterly issues. I've been reading comic books for many years, happy to give you some recommendations.
