This was a fun (and very short) listen. I've listened to several of these live readings of various short stories and I think this one of the better collections I've heard. 'Do You Know Where I Am?' by Sherman Alexie and 'We Are Nighttime Travelers' by Ethan Canin were probably my favorites.

I particularly liked Sherman Alexie's humorous tale, the bittersweet "Eternal Love" by Karen E. Bender, and the soothing voice of beautiful Robert Sean Leonard for Luis Alberto Urrea's story.

I would try another volume of this series.
