Look at the Birdie by Kurt Vonnegut
5.0
Long lost, the glory of hope, 'tis a wonder to have it restored by sarcasm. Indeed, both man and fate have an extremely efficient way of getting back at the other.
My favorites have sadly been the happy-ending ones, since all the others tend to suffocate me with the manner they have been written, but this book, every story in it, is, tough not engaging, rather like a sneak attack on the basis of your prejudices and the axioms of your theories on life.
The best part? It's less than 300 pages long, and unlike those dusty books full of ancient knowledge, without a beginning and an end where you read and you nod and you forget, here you read, you laugh, you close the book and think about it. Then you open it again.
My favourites were "Little Drops of Water", "King and Queen of the Universe" and "Hello, Red".
