"Panic at La Scala." Great! Very much like a Buñuel film (the obvious comparison being The Exterminating Angel) in that it's very funny on the surface and that I'm sure I'm missing something of the deeper satire.

I'm only six or seven stories into this collection, but I love it already. Between this and The Stronghold, Dino Buzzati is fast becoming one of my favorite writers.

Standouts so far are "Our Moment," "Seven Floors," "The Seven Messengers," and "The Bewitched Bourgeois."

"But then I think about spending my entire life in here. Two years have already passed. Two years identical in every way. Who knows how many more will pass before I can leave. One fine day I'll find I've become an old man, still at the same table, my life gone by that point." [Our Moment]

The first story and I'm already depressed. Thanks, Dino.

Greatly enjoyed "The Bridge," "The Bucket Rider," "An Old Manuscript," "The Knock at the Manor Gate," "Eleven Sons," "My Neighbor," and "The Cares of a Family Man."

Realizing it would be much simpler to list the stories I didn't absolutely love.

Read "The Metamorphosis." I'm left devastated.
