Recommend a good, short book

Go with any of the Kurt Vonnegut novels. They're short, easy reads and Cliff Notes are readily available.

Clockwork easily. Burgess' language is amazing. Fahrenheit is an easier read, but a less fulfilling story imho.

As your original post asked about length and ability to read in a couple of days you'll want to go with FH451. A Clockwork Orange is a much more challenging read.

Edit: Shit. Reading Comprehension FTL.

Try The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I hear "The Trial" by the same author is quite good as well, but I can't personally vouch for it.

Edit 2: The opening line from the book is famous;

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."
