Phew, it takes awhile to get through a long audiobook when you don't commute everyday!
(Tip: Short stories are great for intermittently heard audiobooks!)
Overall these were very good. Four or five stories were excellent, a couple were blah, most were good. Even by today's standards. Which says a lot considering these were written in the 1940s and 50s.
The best were:
Nightfall
Mimsy were the borogroves
Surface tension
The nine billion names of god
*It's a good life
*The cold equations
*Flowers for algernon
*A rose for Ecclesiastes
