The Malcontents: The Best Bitter, Cynical, and Satirical Writing in the World
There are some great stories in here, but I, like most people who would likely pick this up, had read most of them already (it was a gift). That said, I do like having it around in case some unsuspecting soul wanders into my life needing an elementary introduction to satire. Hey, it could happen. ;)
