Just when you thought Tom Hanks had mastered almost everythingK he publishes a short story collection and truly becomes a Hanks of all trades.

The previously announced collection, to be published by Knopf Doubleday, now has a title, Uncommon Type.Each of the 17 stories will have some connection to typewriters, which Hanks is obsessed with.

And, of course, America's Dad wrote his notes for this on a typewriter, he told Entertainment Weekly. "I wrote notes and a few pages on an actual typewriter... Typewriters are for personal letters, for musings, for rambling stream-of-consciousness stamped-in-paper doodling."

Mashablehas confirmed the book will drop October 24.

If you're itching to see what this Oscar-winning actor's writing chops are like, you're in luck. He's been previously published in the New Yorker, with a short story that Knopf chairman Sonny Mehta cites as the reason for his interest in buying Hanks' debut.
