A collection of essays by the American master. Twain’s brilliant satire and his empathy for human suffering are evident throughout.

Short stories from the inimitable Donaldson. Good stuff.

Maguire’s first novel. This one is excellent as well, although a bit more dictionarily challenging than Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

I bought this in an airport, OK? I didn’t have anything else to read. What would you have done, smarty-pants? Fine, I admit it, I loved it.

A strange and funny book about a man who finds himself and everyone else around him transformed into sentient chimpanzees.

A collection of short stories by different authors set in the Sandman universe.

A collection of (very) short episodes in which Vonnegut has “near death” experiences administered by Dr. Kevorkian. I liked it.

Katz’s autobiographical account of his decision to spend several months living in a cabin in the mountains and reading Thomas Merton. I enjoyed it.
