Entertaining! And it's just five minutes!

I never thought you could talk about Faulkner's ability to write in 5 minutes, but they (the Audible Staff) have made a pretty good job condensing some of the things that distinguish the author from his peers, and they leave you wanting more! A fun and entertaining idea!
