I’ve read Childhood’s End about 4 times over the years.

Wouldn’t call it a novella, though.

Just finished Jack L. Chalker's River of Dancing Gods. I'm currently reading Joel C. Rosenberg's Epicenter and re-reading Abraham Cohen's Everyman's Talmud.

Shalom.

Per Merriam Webster “ a work of fiction intermediate in length and complexity between a short story and a novel”

By that definition is my usage of “Novella”. Subject to other definitions.

Be well!

I am reading the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy Discussion Draft; the Klamath River Total Maximum Daily Loads and Action Plan Addressing Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Nutrient, and Microcystin Impairments - July 30, 2009; and the Southwest Oregon Interagency Biomass Utilization Strategy.

What can I say - it’s an exciting life. Don’t know when the last time was when I read fiction.
