http://www.amazon.com/Nimrod-Flip-Out-Etgar-Keret/dp/0701178094 - I can't remember where I got the recommendation for this book, but after seeing the cover, I couldn't resist. This is a collection of off-the-wall short stories by Israeli writer Etgar Keret. The stories are creepy, silly, implausible, and a little inappropriate (read: adult themes) - but they were fun to read on a weekend morning over coffee on the deck. As with many short story collections I've read, I wouldn't recommend reading this in one sitting all the way through - instead, I'd keep it lying around. Read one while you're waiting for the oven to pre-heat or while waiting for the bus. They're a good momentary break from real life.
