That is All by John Hodgman
3.0
This is not a book you can listen to in the background. It's going for 'strange' and 'illogical', but takes it all the way to nonsensical. You have to listen closely to not end up so lost it feels as if you're just listening to random words. That's not necessarily a negative - it's the intention - and I loved the large cast of voice actors/personalities.
I did hate listening to the end of the book on audio. I haven't seen the book version, but it's a page-a-day calendar kind of thing, leading to the audio version having the words "today in Ragnarok" and "this was today in Ragnarok" for (nearly) every single one of the 365 days of the year. Hearing those words over 700 times started to feel violent and miserable.
