Enigmatology

I love it. It has hundreds of riddles from many times and cultures, including the answer to Lewis Carrol's "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" The first half goes into detail about the character and makeup of riddles, while the second half has riddles listed by author and their answers at the end.
