I actually listened to The Bottle Imp and chose it because the narrator was so wonderful. He had just read H.G.Well's War of the Worlds to me.

The Bottle Imp is an intriguing story about the impact on one's life of greed and success without limits. It captured and held my attention for the entirety of the short read. I see the book is only about 70 pages, so it would provide a return far greater than the required investment.

Read or listen to the book and you will understand that somewhat obtuse reference.
