That's on my list.
Currently reading Under The Banner of Heaven about Mormon wackiness. Last fiction I read was the Harry Potter series again, which had new poignancy for me.

Basically any time my hands and eyes are occupied with something that allows me to break of a bit of attention to something else, I'm listening to audio books. Typically I listen at 1.5x-2.0x speed as well (most of the readers read soooooo fucking slow) so I really burn through them. Between audio and ebooks, I can easily get through 200 titles in a year and I've had periods, sometimes quite extended, where I was getting in two audio books/day while still reading 2-3 ebooks each week. My current job is keeping me on pace for only about 150 books and it's killing me. Damn it, I want, no, I need, to know what happens next! Next page, next book, next series, next author... I'm probably more than a little OCD about reading, but it's also the one pleasure I've always had, no matter what else was going on in life. I even have eleven different library cards to all the libraries around the Denver area just to feed my fix.It's also why all three of my user names have been book references.
You have a problem.
