(I like it less than his others. I'd rather eat a whole teabag raw - again - than admit it.)

This Audrey audio edition with notes is wonderful, and by the end of the book I was glad that I had listened, but it was tough to get attached to the characters in the beginning. This is the sort of work that you listen to when you want a kind of meditation on humanity, not when you want a fast moving plot.
