Have been listening to audiobook of Uncommon Type Some Stories and you actually feel as if Tom Hanks is sitting in your room reading it to you he has such a great voice. He could read the phone book and I would listen.

I love his personality and how it was able to just glaze over the fact that short stories can" make quite a bit of money" like that's not the reason why he put it out.
