Has anyone mentioned James Thurber yet? “The Catbird Seat”, “The Night the Bed Fell”, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, and “The Unicorn in the Garden” are classics.
I’ve read many of those mentioned, but to be totally honest, three of Asimov’s first came to mind and edged their way to the top: “Nightfall,” “The Last Question”, “The Feeling Of Power”. After that, it’s pretty much a toss-up.
