    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.

    Thanks to a successful interview with the painfully shy E.B. White, a beautiful, 19-year-old, blue-eyed blonde from the cornfields of Iowa lands a job as a receptionist at The New Yorker. There she stays two decades, becoming general all-around factotum - watching and registering the comings and goings, marriages and divorces, scandalous affairs, failures, triumphs, and tragedies of the eccentric inhabitants of the 18th floor. Though she dreamed of becoming a writer, she never advanced at the magazine.

    What made the experience of listening to The Receptionist the most enjoyable?

    The narration was done very nicely; I also liked the story very much. I'd realized how much I enjoyed it at the end, when I was sad that it was over.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Janet sounds like a great person, and I'm glad she shared her story with us.


    What about Judith West’s performance did you like?

    She has a nice voice, not irritating. I guess you can't ask for much more than that..

    To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace.

    Would you listen to The Power of Now again? Why?

    I've been listening to it over and over again. I feel calmer and more at peace after listening to it.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of Now?

    There are too many to write about.
