One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak

3.0

---

This was like a mixture of Aesop's Fables and Wayside storeys for the 21st century "grown-up." Whether is was a brief poetic aphorism or a more lengthy prosaic narrative, there was always some inherent philosophy. While there wasn't always a clear moral to the story, each and every anecdote did cause you to think on some profound subject like love, or death, or heaven, or pet rabbits. At times, it made me chuckle. I think these stories are best when read aloud to a group of people. It's all in the delivery of each line, and the laughter it generates... and the laughter, of course, fuels each story.
