Same here. I found I'd miss entire chapters. That and listening to someone reading a book tends to put me to sleep. Not good on long trips when I'm the driver. So I don't do audio books at all anymore.
When I go to places with the self-guided audio tours, I ask if they have a hard copy script I can use instead. I can skim through exhibits I'm not as interested in and concentrate on those that do interest me, spend less time on a tour and am a lot less likely to be grumpy and ready to go back home/the hotel room when I'm done.
Usual result is that I'm sitting somewhere reading when CINCHOUSE and Darlin' Daughter finish the tour using the audio versions. We are ALL much happier as a result.

I'm reading it on my Kindle and the paperback arrived today from Amazon.
This story is very familiar, is this a re-write of the story Larry and "Nightcrawler" published online on "The High Road" several years ago?
If time, chance and random process can produce a platypus why not an ammo tree?
I'll have to buy one then when I get the paycheck tomorrow! Never read any of Larry's work before, but hopefully I'll be as enthralled as everyone else!
Larry just got another boost in the standings. I'm at B&N right now.
