I actually jumped over to Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself as a bit of a pallette cleanser. I'm about 2/3 of the way through but it's been a busy week. I've got Forever Odd on the Kindle too, but TBI has been sitting on my device unread for well over a year. The audiobook is godawful, I just can't stand the narrator and it turned me off to what is shaping up to be an interesting book.

I'm not really sold on the whole audiobook thing. At least if I fall asleep reading, my Kindle goes to sleep shortly after I do. If I fall asleep listening to an audiobook, whisper synch makes a mess of where I left off. Plus it's readily apparent that the reader can make or break a perfectly cromulent book.

As a rule with my limited foray into audiobooks it seems any book that isn't actually narrated by the author is terrible. Niel Gaiman's take on Norse Mythology, great. The Blade Itself read by...I can't remember...terrible.
