The Greatest Science Fiction Stories Of The 20th Century
This is a very good unabridged audio of short stories. Was sent and received within a reasonable time and was in good shape. I enjoyed it very much, thank you.

I love "why I left Harry's..." - by WATT-EVANS
I love "Why I left Harry's All Night Hamburgers" by Lawrence Watt-Evans.I also really enjoy the performance of Will Wheaton (reader).It's been a while since I could find my copy, but I used to listen to this story once a week.The Editorial Review is right about this collection being incorrectly named, this isn't representative of the "Greatest ... of the 20th Century",but I remember most being pretty good,and I just can't forget "Why I left Harry's...".It's charm, for me, is the way it brings magic and mystery into a very commonplace existence.A young guy who feels trapped by his rural/small-town life and wants out. (CAUTION: SPOILER) He discovers that the local diner, his McJob, is actually an interdimensional/interstellar travelers' rest-stop.It might be a way for him to escape his frustrating life. ...

Excerpt: James Trevor "Jamie" Oliver, MBE (born 27 May 1975), sometimes known as The Naked Chef, is an English chef, restaurateur and media personality well known for his growing list of food-focused television shows, his more recent roles in campaigning against the use of processed foods in national schools, and his campaign to change unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits for the better across the United Kingdom and the United States.
