I arrived here about a month ago when they closed down the blog comments. :-P I'm far too pedantic and opinionated to resist discussing literature, and if the easy path is denied me, well...
(I also only recently developed a lifestyle in which I have time/inclination to listen to podcasts. I'm terrible at aural processing and usually find listening to stories to be quite difficult, as doing anything but utterly mindless tasks will completely distract me from the audio input. Hooray for the night shift at a compliance hotline, I suppose, where there isn't anything else to do but I have to sit at the computer the whole time regardless.)
