zibilee – I’m with you! An audiobook on iPod is a great walking companion.

Margot – I’ve been keeping a collection of short stories in the car, as my “short wait” book while picking up the kids, waiting at the Post Office, etc. Are you reading your short stories, or listening to them?

Colleen – oh, you’re the first to write that you’ve been to events there; it seems like a nice venue (actually, a few venues, right?) and a great variety of programs.

Thanks for the heads up about this one – audiobooks can made or broken by the quality of the reader or performer – sounds like this collection will have no problem delivering in that category!

I have been to some events at Symphony Space; it’s a great organization.

I recently “discovered” short stories again after many years. This collection sounds like a great addition. Thanks for blogging about it.

This sounds like a really unique and interesting idea, and I would love to get my hands on the collection you read! I am so glad that you enjoyed it and will be looking for it as well. It would make a great addition to my nightly walks with the ipod…..

Eva – it’s a great combination. The performances are excellent, and, as a wrote, they’ve motivated me to read these particular stories.

JoAnn – I want to check out some of the other themes, too; these “classics” were wonderful.

Kathy – Which audio is that? He must make a super narrator.

Sandy – I haven’t listened to other short stories, but I really like audiobooks in general. Yes, these are performed (more dramatic than simply being read), so they kept my attention.

Like everyone above me, I do love audios, and I love short stories, but I’ve listened to two short story audios so far and they have not translated well. Perhaps, because these are performed rather than narrated, they are easier to listen to?

That sounds wonderful. I’m currently listening to an audio book performed by actor Steven Weber and I am loving his performance.
