Amazing book that is somehow highly cerebral and yet still gorgeously written and has more soul than some James Brown records. A book within a book within a book... William Burroughs has a short story where a man starts off reading a story about a man who's reading a story about and so on. But Calvino's book manages to have an impressive amount of heart as well. Highly recommended, and a good intro of Calvino if you're not familiar with him.
