Also in audio book news, I ran across this interesting comment thread from Yahoo Answers:  Why are audio books not as popular as regular books? I find it fascinating because these are “regular” people giving their opinions – not people in the industry.

Cody looks up at Stan.

“I’m sorry about your monkey,” he says.

“Looked to me like it was his own fault,” Stan says.  “Sometimes I wondered who was chained to who.”
