Short stories aren’t usually my jam, but with Tom Hanks narrating, I figured I was safe. And these stories are that, safe. A few loop around and include the same characters. A few are memorable for their characters and the events. All include some typing or a typewriter, hardly surprising considering the title of the collection and Mr. Hanks’s penchant for collecting them. Not a bad way to spend some listening hours.
