Uncommon Type

This book is the first from Tom Hanks. Compared to the drivel I previously read, this book was top notch. It is a collection of short stories. They each tie in the use of a typewriter into the story. However that is not the main point of any of the stories.

There are recurring characters in some of the stories. There is a guy and his three friends. Two friends are guys who start off working at Home Depot: MDash and Steve Wong. MDash recently became a citizen of the USA. Steve Wong is a bowling prodigy who has multiple confirmed perfect games in a row. The third friend is Anna, who the main guy dates for a while. Anna is too high strung, high maintenance, and high velocity. He is not he man for her. They all remain friends to the end though.
