The one Calvino book I've read was Cosmicomics.  It was an entertaining
collection of Scientific Fables.  Each of the stories was narrated by the
immortal Qfwfq who relates a story about some scientific principle
(The-Big-Bang: on how crowded it was back then, Continous-Creation:
Playing billiards with the spontaneously created hydrogen atoms, and the
like).  The wry tone is quite similar to Douglas Adam's "Hitchhiker's
Guide To The Galaxy".  Unfortunately, Calvino are hard to find.  Other
books of his that have been recommended that I'm still looking for are
"T-Zero" & "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler".

[C] == Story Collection.
[xxx:yyy] == xxx = Year it was written; yyy = Year it was translated.
[= ...] == Also known by this other title.
