Lucretius6

Overall an excellent selection and fine reading. Only a couple of “clinkers” but that was as much me as weakness in the stories.

extremely interesting short stories

Bronson Pinchot reads a few of them and is amazing. All the pieces are worth listening to and most have surprise endings

Interesting but not as good as number I

Most stories deal now with end of life or melancholy, still a good variety though.

Few Good Stories

There are a few good stories but most of them are meh. This is similar to the other three sets. The narration is good but stories are lackluster.

An interesting mix

Overall enjoyable; but several of these stories were quoted dated in terms of language and content. Heavily weighted toward British upper class sensibility. The quality of writing is excellent but certainly not representative of the diverse background of experiences.
