bluegargantuaHi,
Today I also finished up A New Universal History of Infamy by Rhys Hughes. The original Universal History of Infamy was a book by Jorge Luis Borges wherein relatively minor figures of history were given a heavily embroidered biography. Mr. Hughes obviously follows in Borges's footsteps and produces another set of biographies.
These are followed up by very short pastiches, small stories of whimsy that are all rather amusing. Overall, it was a very quick, but fun read.
