pickA short book of very short, very off-the-wall stories. These stories each take a little random idea and answer the question, what if this little random idea happened in real life? Delightfully bizarre.
thecheckoutstack Oh! The author read one of these stories on an episode of This American Life recently. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/851/try-a-little-tenderness/act-four-12 21h
flying_monkeys Glad to hear this. I bought the collection for "Kneller's Happy Campers,” the basis for one of my favorite movies, Wristcutters: A Love Story. But I have yet to read the other stories. I‘ll have to bump this up my TBR. 20h
ImperfectCJ @flying_monkeys Kneller's Happy Campers is in this collection, too. I'll have to check out Wristcutters. I don't keep up with movies near as well as I once did, but I do enjoy movies a lot (when I'm not reading, of course 🙃) 19h
ImperfectCJ @thecheckoutstack Ooh! I'll have to give it a listen! I love TAL, but I got out of the habit of listening when we moved to a house where our under-cabinet radio didn't fit (yes, I could stream it, but I haven't gotten into that habit). 19h
