  Master storyteller Jim Weiss takes listeners on a thrilling journey through the night sky, sharing the fascinating stories behind Orion, Taurus, and other constellations.  For thousands of years, cultures around the world have told stories about the stars--tales of brave heroes, mysterious monsters, faithful friends, and epic journeys. From the Navajo to the Australian Aborigines, and from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the myths of ancient Greece, the pictures formed by the stars have helped us remember people of the past, guided us across oceans, and reminded us who we are--or who we could be. In this new recording, storyteller Jim Weiss brings the stories of the most famous constellations to a new generation.

  Small Town by Philip K. Dick - The theme of "the man who played God" has been used many ways in many stories, but never with more tense and chilling effect than in this tight little yarn by the very able Mr. Dick. You'll like it, we're sure. 
  Verne Haskel crept miserably up the front steps of his house, his overcoat dragging behind him. He was tired. Tired and discour­aged. And his feet ached. "My God," Madge exclaim­ed, as he closed the door and peeled off his coat and hat. "You home already?" 
  Haskel dumped his briefcase and began untying his shoes. His body sagged. His face was drawn and gray. 
  "Say something!"  
  "Dinner ready?" 
  "No, dinner isn't ready. What's wrong this time? Another fight with Larson?" 
  Haskel stumped into the kitchen and filled a glass with warm water and soda. "Let's move," he said. 
  "Move?" 
  "Away from Woodland. To San Francisco. Anywhere." Haskel drank his soda, his middle-aged flabby body sup­ported by the gleaming sink. "I feel lousy. Maybe I ought to see Doc Barnes again. I wish this was Friday and to­morrow was Saturday." 
  "What do you want for dinner?" 
  "Nothing. I don't know."

  The Big Nothing

  This sensitive and often humorous book tells the story of an adolescent boy who begins to find himself after the people he has always depended on let him down. Alone. That’s how thirteen-year-old Justin feels these days. His older brother Duane has left home, enlisting in the Army, and his father has walked out, maybe for good this time. His mom is too depressed to get out of bed, much less pay the bills and keep food in the refrigerator. And if that’s not enough, his best buddy Ben has a new girlfriend and no longer has time to hang out. There’s not much left for Justin to do but to put his brain in neutral and slide into the state he calls “the Big Nothing.” But slowly Justin discovers he has more resources than he thinks. With the help of his classmate Jemmie and her grandmother, Nana Grace, he learns that underneath all the noisy confusion in his brain lies a talent for music. As he spends time with Jemmie, he begins to understand how simple notes make complex music, and how simple feelings can turn into deep emotions. Award-winning author Adrian Fogelin once again offers readers an emotionally charged story featuring a sympathetic adolescent trying to make sense of the people and world around him.
