    A Signature Performance: Tim Curry, the source of our inspiration, returns – this time, he captures the quirky enthusiasm of this goofily visionary adventure.

    Would you listen to Journey to the Center of the Earth: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry again? Why?

    Yes. It was delightfully delivered.


    What about Tim Curry’s performance did you like?

    Tim Curry injected just the right amount of incredulity and wry conservatism into the first-person narrative.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I was charmed.

    Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for...but she is not Natalie....

    If you could sum up Six Years in three words, what would they be?

    Oh the pain


    Any additional comments?

    Conversations where secrets are revealed drag on and on, the hero fails to call the police (or run away) when he ought to, and there's a substantial amount of soap-opera level hand-wringing over lost romance. But the reader does an absolutely amazing job given the material. There were a few unpredictable plot twists, and I did listen until the end. A decent piece of escapism, as long as you can make it through the long speeches of love lamentations, delivered with an admirable level of commitment by Scott Brick.

    When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

    What disappointed you about Fifty Shades of Grey?

    Terribly written.


    Has Fifty Shades of Grey turned you off from other books in this genre?

    Yes


    What didn’t you like about Becca Battoe’s performance?

    I think she did the best she could with the material.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Many, many laughs. I mean laugh-out-loud laughs. It got to the point where every time she said "Oh, my!" I chimed in with her and cracked up. I listened to this while I did spring cleaning, and it got me through it.


    Any additional comments?

    I'm up to date on pop culture. And I can speak from experience when I tell others it was truly awful.
