"The illustrated man" by Ray Bradbury (Harper Perennial, 2005)

First published in 1952. In the prologue (which I found promising) a man meets a wanderer who's cursed with skin that shows stills and movies. The wanderer sleeps while the man watches the movies one by one. There are 16 stories. After reading The Veldt, Kaleidoscope, The Other Foot, The Highway, and The Man, I decided to skip the rest. The plots are sometimes ok, always straightforward, often predictable. Ditto the characters. The men generally act like your average guy.

See the Wikipedia page for details.
