The Nose and The Carriage are both funny stories, but in slightly diffetent ways. I preferred the nose because it is so obsurd and I found it to be laugh out loud funny that the nose was mistaken for a person sometimes and in general I really liked how Gogol phrased things. While in the nose, the comedy was predominately about a situation, in the carriage was a little more about a certain person. I enjoyed both and really liked Gogols writing style.
