    Meet Emily and Paul: The parents of two young children, Emily is the newly promoted VP of marketing at a large corporation while Paul works from home or from clients' offices as an independent IT consultant. Their lives, like all of ours, are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, yet more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task.

    Story

    I really enjoy how "Your Brain at Work" uses multiple studies of the brain in very realistic situations (I love brain studies). Each of the example situations are connected throughout the book and you actually begin to form a bond with the characters used in the situations. First you are introduced to a typical situation that in which the characters act "normally" but with a not so great outcome. Then the situation is repeated and the main characters utilize what has been discussed in the chapter to change the outcome of the situation. You actually feel yourself getting smarter as your read the book. Eventually you yourself begin to think your way out of the situations being presented. This book is a classic already!

    On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

    What did you love best about 11-22-63?

    I am a huge time travel fan and this book handles the topic extremely well. The book and story is fantastic, but I thoroughly enjoyed Stephen King's followup discussion at the end of the book.


    Have you listened to any of Craig Wasson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Craig Wasson's performance was great. The different voices used for the characters were done very well.
