Bertrand Russell recommends
Professor Mmaa's Lecture (1953)
Stefan Themerson
"I recommend this book to the reader because it is massive, impressive, and grimly amusing. I cannot promise the reader that at any point he will shake his sides with laughter, but I can promise him a wry pleasure to be derived from the skilful dissection of folly."
