I finished Ringworld on the walk home last night. Actually, saying 'I finished' feels like cheating, in that it was an audiobook from Audible, so what I really mean is 'I finished having Ringworld read to me'. Sure, it took 10 hours, and I'm certain I could read it faster than that, but I didn't really have 10 spare hours to sit and read.

On the other hand, though, I do spend between 3 and 4 hours a day walking, so that's a clear 15+ hours Monday-Friday that I can fill with podcasts and/or audio books. The weekends are different, since I'm normally walking the dog with P at those points, and me plugging in would probably not be best received ;-P

But what did you think of Ringworld this time around?

[slowfox]

Actually, I still rather liked it - lots of it seemed familiar, despite the, um, 25 year gap since the first reading, but others seemed fresh. Worth a read, and I got more into the reading as I grew accustomed to the narrator's tone/portrayal/rendition...

Incidentally, I hear congrats due to your good self! *hugs*

My copy of Ringworld has been sitting in my bookcase for decades, I've been debating re-reading or donating to charity. I'll hang onto it for a bit longer I think.

I presume the congrats are related to new!boy? Things seem to be going along well, he's a good soul. Fingers crossed things will continue well.

How are things with you? You seem to have fallen away from Dreamwidth the last few weeks, is everything ok?
