If on a Winter's Night, a Traveler (Italo Calvino)

Another Calvino gem. While reading this book, I felt: amused, enthralled, frustrated, and bored. However, this is truly a unique and exciting reading experience, and definitely very appropriate for anyone who is an avid reader of fiction. Half the book is told in second person, and the other half is made up of the beginnings of novels (never finished). The story is essentially about the quest to get to the bottom of a ridiculous conspiracy that is preventing you from finishing a single novel in a chain of apocryphal translations. Quite brilliant, worth the frustration.
Calvino is a smartass and a beautiful writer. I will read a lot more of him.
