BOOM. 25 down.The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God is a beautiful book of whimsical short stories from the "undoubtedly most popular writer among Israeli youth." I think that quote is self-acclaimed by the author, but I can't be sure of anything. He's a Hebrew man. You know how those jews operate. Anyway.
The stories themselves range from a bus driver who once wanted to be god but settled on his second choice profession of bus driving; a little boy who develops a loving relationship with his piggy bank; a very patient daemon who watches TV before stealing away his victim's talent and packaging it in styrofoam peanuts; the world's most beautiful uterus that's heisted from a museum display case by an Alaskan adventurer; and a land where people who have committed suicide proceed to live, drink beer, and perform small miracles that never amount to very much.
And just like the cover says, it was a warped and wonderful experience.
