Where does The Draco Tavern rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
My favorite. I love it. I listen to it whenever I am stuck in traffic without a new audio to hear. My six-year-old son and I enjoy discussing it.Had to skip the Smut Talk story with him.Who was your favorite character and why?
The bartender, Rich Schuman. His dry humor and quick wit are most enjoyable.Have you listened to any of Tom Weiner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. He is perfect for Rick Schuman and did other characters very well.Who was the most memorable character of The Draco Tavern and why?
Besides Rick Schuman, the most memorable characters were the aliens called the Chirpsithra. Fascinating, funny, mysterious and scary all at once.Any additional comments?
I wish Niven would write some more of these short stories (vignettes, really). I am hooked.My Favorite Audio Book

I have read everything that Larry Niven has written. Most things more than once. I was hooked on his short stories over three decades ago when I read "Neutron Star". His humor and his insight into the human race and his ability to ask the "What if?" question and then take that ball and run with it is always paramount.
In this collection (which contains a couple of stories not in earlier collections) he answers "What if a human had the only alien species friendly bar on earth?"
Each time I read or listen to these stories I am refreshed and I find something new to think about and I have a chuckle or two.
I think you will too!
A Great Listen
