by Roald Dahl The story is about a fox, simply named Mr. Fox. At night, he steals animals from three mean farmers (Bunce, Boggis, and Bean) in order to feed his family. The farmers are fed up with this, and try everything to kill him. They surround the hill he lives in with men armed with guns. After three days of starving, Mr.Fox and his children dig a tunnel to Boggis' chicken house number one, and steal some chickens. They also raid Bunce's storehouse and Bean's underground cellar of apple cider. They invite everyone to a feast made from the loot and decide never to go above ground anymore.

A Song for Lya
This novella, A Song for Lya, is the story of two telepaths investigating religious suicides on an ancient world. This story, I have to admit, gave me chills up my spine for several days. I could not stop thinking about it in the shower, in the elevator, on the bus. It was absolutely fantastic and haunting, and as always with Martin, struck a cord at the center of the human condition.
