To give you an idea, if I'm not swamped with deadlines, I usually get
through 2 or 3 books a week. Those are 500-800 page books.
For a week holiday I'll often pack 6 to 8 books, and finish all of them

If you're going to a library, ask a librarian. They're more likely than
anyone to know a good book in a specific genre that the library has.
You could also ask here, if you trust our opinions. What kind of fiction do
you enjoy?

Besides, if you're just borrowing the books, what do you lose by taking
something you're not sure of? Perhaps an hour of your time.

It's not prohibited in any library I've been in. Making loud noises is
prohibited, but a soft conversation with another patron on the merits of a
particular book isn't a problem.
