Been so busy this lately I hadn't even given this a thought until I saw the thread this morning. A recent read I mentioned on the "What are we reading thread" is A Grain of Salt by Dr. Joe Schwarcz (... speaking of busy, it's now over 12 hours later that I finish this post...) It was a good book about food and is offered in neat bite-sized pieces. But I think it's a bit long for Book Club; I know I spread it out over quite a long time.
Seeing people refer to short story collections did make me think of One Thousand and One Nights, but length is a problem, as is consistency (so many editions to choose from).
There are many cosy mysteries that would fit this ... but so far I haven't found any I'd want to re-read.
I picked up The Haunting of Hill House recently while it was on special at Kobo AU.
