City by Alessandro Baricco

Man, I haven't read anything like it in a while.
If you like Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Brautigan, or Chuck Palahniuk I'll bet dollars to donuts you'll love this.

Its fun, quirky, insightful, and well, just read it. No matter where you buy it it's less than 10 bucks, and well worth it.

The Publishers Weekly review of the book on the Sony Store page is pretty scathing. I think they were hoping for another romantic drama like Silk. Instead they got quirky and odd. All I can say is that it made me giddy and I'm trying to get everyone I know to read it.

Sony eBook store:

Mobipocket:

ps,
If anyone finds Silk by the very same Alessandro Baricco in any the ebook stores please let me know. I read it years ago, and I would love to get an ebook of it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Cheers,
Lee
