Huge fan of many of these and I have two quick ones to STRONGLY recommend: Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls, which is like if Betty Draper met the creature from the Black Lagoon; and The English Prefer Wool by Helen DeWitt, which is a wry class satire about an unexpectedly worldly teenager. Both are under 125 pages!
