Kaddish.com / Nathan Englander, read by Rob Shapiro, 203 pages
When Larry's father dies, it is his duty to recite the Kaddish for a year. Unlike the rest of his Orthodox family, Larry is an atheist so he finds a service online who will take on his duty and pray for his father. The belief is the prayer will pave the way to heaven. Like many others, Larry finds his life and beliefs changing and so he has to figure out a way to recover his birthright and get the responsibility back from his Internet service. This book is a fantastic journey that we take with Larry. Funny at times, reflective and philosophical at others. A fantastic story that is perfectly read by narrator Rob Shapiro.
