I've received a school project where I need to read a book but I've never really wanted to read a book and don't know many books at all. What book should I read?

People like me are why I believe the slippery slope is a fact, not a fallacy...
I'm asking this in the context of a school project mainly because of 2 things:
1: 2 of the questions of the project are about main and secondary characters and their physical and psychological characteristics, so the book is gonna require those unless I'm misinterpreting those questions.
2: The project is for March 12th so something like 1984 with 300+ pages is probably too long. (Although there are probably many technicalities to blur this, like how much text there is in a page and the actual amount of pages I can read in a given time and how much time can I dedicate to reading the damn book.)

I've been posting about this in various topics but now that it's on Github, I thought maybe it's time to give it a topic of its own. From the README:
My goal is to eventually replicate the keyboard and sound of the bass side of an accordion in an electronic device that accordion players will find easy to adapt to. So far I've built three prototypes:
- Prototype 1 was trying out a Teensy 4 with an audio shield on a breadboard, with 4 bass buttons.
- For prototype 2, I put the buttons on two double-decker circuit boards (9 bass buttons). Here's the Video. You can see the remains of prototype 1 in the background.
- For prototype 3, I built a real case out of wood and laser-cut acrylic panels, to make a desktop device that's more easily portable. This one uses a Teensy 3.6. Here's the Video. I designed it in Onshape and you can look at the CAD model online.
