favorite short story?

out of all of harry's short stories, which one was your favorite? I think mine was Mel, the out-of-focus man, because I think that one really describes Harry, plus the story is brilliantly funny.

The one with Tobey and the Death, actually... it's so cool suddenly having Death appearing as a character (a little Bergmanish). It's also cool when he visits hell.

And the out-of-focus is great too ;)

I actually liked the very first story with the character of "Ken"

Definitely the story about Dolly and Max: "Some butcher, some burn...I ate!"

Nah, the one with the out-of-focus actor, and how the out-of-focus thing recurred throughout, loved that.

"Death, you are my bitch lover!"

i thought the Dolly and Max was classic,the Star Wars themed Bar Mitzvah was really funny. and the first one was really funny,i just thought it was so well-done.
