Why didn’t anyone tell me…

Thought I’d add this one to the list simply because I discussed it with a friend recently and didn’t have a chance to put it up here.

Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show

Now generally I like short story collections, especially in audio form, because the change from story to story is a lot of fun, especially with a 30m – 1h commute most mornings. Sometimes you complete a whole story on the way to or from work and you feel like you’ve accomplished something, and you get the whole picture in a short time. It’s nice. These were especially fun because they were extremely well thought out, sometimes silly, sometimes sad, and they touched me beyond the normal, “heh, that was cool.” The one about Elvis had me rolling in my seat in the parking lot, 10 minutes after I’d arrived at work. I’m glad nobody saw me there. As it was, I had to re-tell the story to my wife, doubled over in laughter the whole time. Highly suggested collection.
