Helpful Score: 1
A wonderful collection of some of the funniest writers of the 20th century. I especially like the fact that these are short stories, making them perfect bedtime reading material. Recommended for aspiring writers who want to see what the craft looked like before the rise of "snark," as well as anyone who likes to laugh.
