Listened to this on audiobook during our work commutes, so it was a long slow read with that restriction. But it was fun to have something to look forward to and get sucked into during LA traffic.

I really dislike Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. They have such a big following and trying to do rereads with the audio is kind of painful. I have the audio at 2.70x speed, and it still feels like "gah I'm still not finished" but reading it instead makes me feel like the journey was enjoyable.
