I just loved this story. It is a short story that I listened to on LibriVox.

It was so absurdly funny and very engaging. A nose is found. A nose is missing. I love how the nose gets a life of its own! It's a light, amusing read that pulls you into the story, and also a good distraction from the normal, nothing heavy, nothing dramatic. I really found myself laughing out loud throughout and rank it as one of the most humorous books I've read for the year.
