What a difference the audiobook makes. Still, it's probably best consumed in small doses, such as a brief morning/afternoon commute. I'd probably reestablish a 2-star rating had I been forced to listen to the whole thing in one sitting.

( ) theanalogdivide | Dec 1, 2009 | I learned several important things from [book:The Areas of My Expertise]:* it is possible to sell a book of total nonsense* one can put a funny spin on The Great Depression* I should be more suspicious of the large black squirrel population in my home town.I was mildly disappointed that there wasn't more about pirates in this thing encyclopedia of total world knowledge. Apart from that, I would say that this is not a book to be missed.
