A Series of Unfortunate Events

Based on a recommendation from Cory Doctorow I picked up a copy of The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1), by Lemony Snicket, under the guise of getting it for my oldest son to read for school. In fact it was primarily for me and it was a great read, taking me only an hour or two to finish the book. I hope my son enjoys it so I can rationalize buying more of the series.
