Bradner: I have heard of that audiobook before; one of my favorite podcasts, "Security Now!", which is a technology podcast, has referenced it a couple of times. I've been meaning to check it out because I one day hope to own the entire OED (if I can ever settle down in one place). Molly: Definitely; I've listened to that podcast as well. And about Joyce, I've seen her read in person... I was bored as hell. She's a great, prolific writer and yadda yadda yadda... but she is boring. Seth: I haven't heard of that one; does Evans actually read it? That would be excellent. Excellent suggestions, friends.

Just skip the episode where Joyce Carol Oates reads. itunes New Yorker nonfiction Podcast has gotten me through days upon days of office doldrums.
