The Life and Times of Archy & Mehitabel by Don Marquis
5.0
This is one of my favorite books. Clever, fresh, and a fascinating look at news cycles and reactions from a long time ago, this book surprised me and charmed me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something a little different from your normal fare.
