Zazie in the Metro

Zazie in the Metro is the funniest damn book I've read in ages. The thing is, I don't know who else would find it so hilarious. It's like watching a Marx Brothers film, directed by Rob Reiner with dialogue written by Samuel Beckett. It hit my sweet spot square on, but would it be loved by other bastardos? Well, I don't know, but there it is.

Louis Malle apparently made a very successful film out of it. Have to track that one down.

The reviews make it sound really funny. I've never heard of it, nor the author. Maybe if his books had pictures...

I've enjoyed all your past recommendations, Lurker. Consider it added to my list.
