Too Sweet

Listening to NPR tonight while driving in a rather large circle around the seacoast area I discovered Selected Shorts, which is dramatic readings of short stories. Gold! Gold, I tell you! Tonight I listened to these three shorts:

• "The Occasional Garden" by Saki, performed by Daniel Gerroll Collected in: The Garden of Reading: An Anthology of Twentieth-Century Short Fiction about Gardens and Gardeners, edited by Michele Slung (Overlook Ducksworth)
• "The Balloon" by Donald Barthelme, performed by Maria Tucci Published in: The New Yorker (April 16, 1966 ) From: Sixty Stories (Penguin)
• "The Little Green Monster" by Haruki Murakami, performed by Dana Ivey From: The Elephant Vanished (Vintage)

Wonderful! And something to look forward to as well. You can download readings as MP3's, subscribe with iTunes, or you can get the series on CD! How cool is that?!
