I loved hearing the author read this story. Lots of characters with expectations and problems coming into the 40th class reunion. The path to how it turns out for each one is engrossing and thought-provoking. 

Great group of Short Stories!  Berg is one of the few writers of short stories that I really like. I listened to the audiobook which was very enjoyable and also thought-provoking.

Easy to understand method for reaching into the creative mind for writing. It's called "clustering" and looks a lot like mind-mapping. After discussing this method and giving good examples and some exercises, there are several chapters on more techniques to develop writing. What I was looking for was in the first part since I was just looking for a way to break the block to writing simple blog posts. What I got was something to go along with dream analysis in reaching into my unconscious mind through writing for only myself to read. Excellent book.

Story turning very dark. I don't want to go there.

Engaging historical fiction of the life of Marie Curie based on her actual life side-by-side with an alternate life had she made one different choice. Excellent narration of the audiobook. 

Starts our a tale of medieval England and takes a turn. It's a cautionary tale with some mystery and an interesting transitional time for a priest. The story has a heavy emphasis on church, science, morality, and where decadence leads. It's a heavy story, but I found the audio version a very good listen. 

An intriguing mystery. The process the characters go through to solve it was a great read. Interspersed are some great bits of humor and personal interactions I've come to look forward to.  The relationship of the main characters is moving along well, which makes this series so wonderful.
