Sheryl Mallory-Johnson | 1 comments Hi All,

I am an author and avid reader. Between books, I try to find a gem that will hold my interest long enough to force me to put down my pen, which doesn't happen often, as I am rally between books. Nonetheless, I have discovered a gem written by B.J. Novak, "One More Thing: Stories and More Stories. Great shorts that keeps me turning the pages…albeit rather slowly.
