I agree with the Cat's Cradle reviews. It's an excellent book. I also like the collected short stories of Roald Dahl. This isn't the one you know of James and the Giant Peach and BFG fame. This guy is messed up. Funny, but messed up. I like the twist that it present at the end of most of his stories. You can see how he evolved from a writer for adults to a writer for kids and adults. My favorites are The Automatic Grammatizer and Lamb to the Slaughter, with Neck and Galloping Foxely coming in close behind them. I highly recommend them.

The new Wes Anderson movie is going to be based off a Roald Dahl book.
