Better than the last one but still not 3 star on account of how bad the first story is.

The Book consists of 4 short Stories hinted in volume 2 taking place bt May and Nov ie vol 1 and 2 in book time.

The first one is called Boredom of Haruhi and is a disaster. It is about a baseball game, and feels very stupid as no one questions the absurdities happening in it.

The second one is about the incident 3 years ago. While the story is relatively interesting, the actions of Asahina in during it made me think that Koizumi's theory on her personality may actually be true. Her personality has been purposefully created to control Kyon.

Third is quite a forgetful one about an data alien while the 4th one is the longest and perhaps the best one it in.

El libro recopila cuatro historias. Cada una es diferente y tiene sus puntos fuertes y débiles. En particular me han gustado las dos primeras, sobre todo Rapsodia de la hoja de bambú, por ser tan importante en la saga. La de béisbol es divertida y tiene sus momentos de peligro.
Mysterique Sign nunca me llamó la atención. No es mala, pero más que entretenida me resulta curiosa.
El síndrome de la isla remota es el que menos me gusta. Por un lado, no soy muy amigo de las historias de misterio donde hay que resolver un crimen. Por otro, me gusta mucho más el final que le dieron en la serie de anime que adaptó el cuento.

I just love this series. Every time my life gets crazy, and the last thing I want to think about is reading some dense tome, I just pop open another one of these babies. That's not to say they are intellectually void, of course. However, all of the interesting contemplative features of this series lie in the premise, not the execution. It's as if the author has proposed a very interesting thought experiment, and is merely exploring the intriguing consequences through each short story. The reader can simply follow along at their leisure.

In this installation, our motley crew of characters is only trying to keep themselves, and most importantly Haruhi, entertained. Never have the potential stakes of boredom been so drastic. Aren't board games enough?
