Reading While Driving

[threemonkeys]

Dymocks Welly has Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. Interestingly, the unabridged audiobook version as read by Neil costs less than the physical book. Whats a guy to do - for the difference I can buy the mass market edition when it comes out later in the year. What would you do?

I dislike Gaiman so I can't really comment... but I wanted to say thanks for your YA comment on Nation. I got it, and I'm enjoying it because I went into it with my head in YA space. XD I'm sure I'd have been kinda pissed off if I hadn't.

I was discussing the same thing with the buyer at Dymocks today - he agrees because he has Nation prominently displayed in the YA section, but just hidden away on the main shelves in the sf/fantasy section.

Definitely buy! Gaiman reading it TO you would be awesome! I want! I am a fan of the audiobook, and if you have a regular drive time, it's excellent!

Buy them both now. Hang the budget.

I already have his Warning Contains Language which is read by him and is excellent - sounds just like him reading live.

I considered it - quite seriously really. For completeness, I also considered the buy neither option. That one didn't get a lot of mental traction.

My solution: I borrowed the book and now I'm reading it to Kim.

I'm old skool yo. I say buy the book, making sure its the Chris Riddell illustrated version. Audio books dont sell fast i've been told so go back for that in another week or so.

The Trash Heap has spoken (yeah!). :)

The edition I was looking at had illustrations by Dave McKean

I can see that working for Kim even though you don't quite sound like Neil.
