11/22/63 by Stephen King. Read by Craig Wasson.

It's been ages since I've finished reading a Stephen King novel, so I was thrilled to get into this audiobook. I was fascinated for all 30 CDs! No horror or gore here--just historical mystery and drama.

If you suddenly discovered that you had the power to travel back in time and "improve" things, what would you change? For Jake, it's the JFK assassination. If he had lived through 11/22/63, things would be better, right? And so Jake lives a few years back in the late 50's, just so he can try to stop Lee Harvey Oswald.

I knew a little bit about the assassination and now I feel like I know much more. Sure, this is fiction, but it's also based on facts, and I found Oswald's history interesting. I had no idea that he had lived in Russia or that he was drawn to Cuba. Why didn't I learn that in my history classes? I was a history minor, for Pete's sake!
