Simple straightforward fable
An easy read, contrary to many of Dostoyevsky's novels. The honest thief raises the question of whether it is fine to forgive or accept a lie in some circumstances especially when there are more important things to be worrying about.

Dostoyevsky's short stories are always a joy to read and listen because of the power of his storytelling.

And oldie but a goldie
This is the first season that gets you hooked on the TV show "Friends". It's an easy show to follow. It has all the usual stereotypes and doesn't fall short throughout the series. It's a comedy and definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I like this game, but I feel like it depends on what roles you have when you are playing. There always seems to be a lot of "get all these things to one person so they can cure everything" and it is really mostly one person doing the work. As a cooperative game, I think this falls a little short in this respect.

Our favorite co-op board game! It's everyone versus the disease. What helps, too, is that the difficulty and characters can be changed to create a unique experience every game. Although I have not yet tested this game with children, every adult I've played with loves it!

Moderate cooperative game, providing great opportunities for each player to have a hero moment each game.

My Personal Opinion
I like Stephen King as an author and have loved everything I have read of his up to this point. For me this book feel short. I'm not a huge fan of psychological horror and that's what this felt like to me. The book was ok enough that I finished it but it isn't one of my favorites.

The Channel is a collection of short fictional stories, some with a touch of paranormal. Some will make you cry, some will make you think, and some will make you smile. Susan is a wonderful storyteller with a talent for leaving her readers with questions and possibilities in their minds but ending the stories with a satisfying close.

a good 30+ hours spent listening to all these many and varied short stories. My first introduction the Dunc and Egg (G.R.R.Martin) I picked this up for the Robin Hobb story which, as always, didn't disappoint. I have however now found many other excellent authors to feast my eyes and ears on. Enjoy reading or listening, it is definitely worth the time.

One of the first Audible books I listened to. Made short work of my commute and I was hooked after 5 minutes.

Amazing story concept of Bob Prime and his copies alwith their differing personalities, all set in the future with brilliant Star Trek, Simpsons and current pop culture references.

Impossible to put down

Zac Effron was very good (1 more)
Shown from his ex partner perspective
Keeping it short.

A good film with isn't 100% factual correct filmed from his ex partner perspective. Not just focusing on Bundy crimes. Zac. Effron dose great as Ted. But think if he played a fictional murderer with his good looks. We could of have had a great murder cop film.
