A Handful of Good Books by NPR Hosts
a list by Peter, the avid reader who runs Flashlight Worthy
Just because they make a living talking on the radio doesn't mean that they can't turn out an excellent book. After all, air waves or printed page... storytelling is storytelling.

edited by Paul Auster
This book makes excellent bedtime reading. With each story only lasting a page or two, you get to read before sleep without staying up too late as you struggle to reach the end of the chapter. ;)
Amazon says:
When the call went out to listeners of National Public Radio's "Weekend All Things Considered" to submit stories about their personal experiences, the results were overwhelming.
The stories, whether fact or fiction, all exhibit a heartfelt earnestness to be heard, and share similar themes of bizarre coincidences, otherworldly intervention, love and loss, life-changing experiences, and mundane pleasures.
