Hodgman's "The Areas of My Expertise" Free Via iTunes
Via digg:
John Hodgman's book "The Areas of My Expertise," a satirical almanac, is available as a free download as an audiobook, narrated by John Hodgman himself, from iTunes, no strings attached. This is not a sample, but a full 7 hours, and even includes parts not in the original book, including musical accompaniment by Jonathan Coulton. (Link to iTunes)
It's true! My copy is downloading even now. This is great; not only because I suspect I'll enjoy the book, given what I've heard from Hodgman in interviews, but because I'm also a fan of Coulton, the musician behind such terrific songs as "Mandelbrot Set" and "I'm a Mason Now."
If you have iTunes, just click here to bring it up in the iTunes Store.
I've been reading the gloriously tactile "paper" version of the book, and it is quite the hilarious thing.
