Uncommon Type: Some Stories by Tom Hanks, 405 pages

Loved. this. book.  I listened to it, read by the author, who also happens to be Tom Hanks, the actor. 

It's a collection of short stories, hence the title.  A handful of the stories feature typewriters, there are a couple sci-fi stories and the last story is more like a radio play production, with actor friends reading the parts.  Remember Peter Scolari from Hank's "Bosom Buddies" days?   Woe unto the reader who doesn't get to hear that one.

Hope, friendship, love and good people are featured throughout the stories.   What a treat!
