The plot of Exercises in Style is simple: a man gets into an argument with another passenger on a bus. However, this anecdote is told 99 more times, each in a radically different style, as a sonnet, an opera, in slang, and with many more permutations. This virtuoso set of variations is a linguistic rust-remover, and a guide to literary forms.

Originally published in French in 1947 by Raymond Queneau (1903-1976), this gem of a book is one of his most popular works. Its appeal is universal and it has been translated into many languages.
The same short tale is described in ninety-nine variations and makes for fascinating reading - a linguistic delight. A book like this is never out of date.
