    Story

    A winner of the National Book Award, The Moviegoer established Walker Percy as an insightful and grimly humorous storyteller. It is the tale of Binx Bolling, a small-time stockbroker who lives quietly in suburban New Orleans, pursuing an interest in the movies, affairs with his secretaries, and living out his days. But soon he finds himself on a "search" for something more important, some spiritual truth to anchor him.

    Story

    I found this story to be a mix between Tennessee William's "The Glass Menagerie" and J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye." Unfortunately, this book was neither as well written nor as interesting as those other two. The performance was fine.

    To the Lighthouse is a landmark work of English fiction. Virginia Woolf explores perception and meaning in some of the most beautiful prose ever written, minutely detailing the characters thoughts and impressions. This unabridged version is read by Juliet Stevenson.

    Story

    Juliet Stevenson does a wonderful job reading this story. She was great with Mrs. Dalloway and A Room Of One's Own as well. I would search her out specifically.
