How far into the book is everyone? I've actually been listening to the audiobook, and I'm about chapter 12 or 13 I think.

I've been listening to audiobook and I've almost finished it lol. I'm on chapter 38 and according to Audible I'm 95% through it. One of the few perks of having to sit in rush hour traffic everyday. Plus I've been listening to it at work some.

Same. I have about a 45 minute commute. I like that it's narrated my Wil Wheaton, but also, am slightly annoyed by the way he occasionally pronounces things. Also, I went to the book when I was at home, and I read Aech's name. I was so confused.

The worst part about listening to it in the car is there are many things I was like "Oh, I want to discuss this with them!" and then forget because I can't take notes.

Just finished it this morning. Yeah, admittedly I'm sure I missed parts of the book because I listened to the audiobook. I do tend to retain everything better by actually reading it but listening is so convenient. And omg, are you talking about "poseur"?! haha yeah I'd be going along great and then he'd say something and I'd be like uhhh what?

yes poseur, it was so bad lol. i loved when they talked about Wil in the book though, I could almost hear his smirk.

Haha right? It's like that moment where they mention the title of the movie within the dialogue lol
