And in a reversal of my typical policy, I'm including Fredric Brown
mystery books in addition to his SF.  That's because (1) I really like
his mysteries [they're really great, any mystery fan should try them] &
(2) many of them have been recently reprinted.

Fredric Brown is one of SF's classic humorists.  His specialty is short,
short-short & really-short stories with a twist (or twisted) ending.  He
also wrote several memorable novels: "Martians, Go Home" [where the earth
is invaded by little green men that don't *DO* anything, but do watch. 
Watch everything.  And make snide comments.  I understand that it's being
made into a bad movie], "What Mad Universe" [an alternate universe where
pulp SF is real life] & "The Lights in the Sky Are Stars" [a fine serious
story of a man who isn't going into space, but helps fight for the Jupiter
project].  Read most any Fredric Brown that you can find.
