7. I finished "reading' it today
Can it really be called "reading" when I'm actually just listening to someone else read it? hmmm

In any case, I'm going to reiterate what I said about the reader of this version (Michael Kramer) -- he really brought the book to life for me -- his accents, intonations, were just wonderful, and I'm sure I enjoyed it more than if I had read it myself.

Now I'm on an audiobook binge. Started "Cooked" this morning, about an ex-felon dope dealer from So. Cal. who becomes a foodie while in prison (is that even possible? I guess so) and ends up being a chef in Vegas. And the two Bourdain books still waiting, plus Julia Childs "My Life in France" -- it's amazing how much faster I can get through books when I'm listening to them (cuz I can multitask, I guess -- listen while in the kitchen, or whatever).

Any other similar books y'all would recommend? :hi:
