I actually prefer Mr. Palomar, but I've never read anything by Italo Calvino I didn't like.

I should also mention that Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in the town that I live. I really like her poetry...what little I've read of it anyway.

Yeah, I love, love love that book to bits. I bring one with me when I go traveling just to help me get a feel for where I am, even though it can get overly literal. So many levels of awesome, lyrical, thought provoking prose.

Just thought you should know that I think Invisible Cities and The Little Prince are great books too. I've never actually met anybody in real life or seen anyone on the internet who listed Invisible Cities as one of the favorites.
