Areas of My Expertise Even if you don’t normally visit the FREE ON iTunes section on the iTunes Store, you have a reason now. You can get the full (abridged) audiobook version of John Hodgman’s book The Areas of My Expertise, as read by him.

I would have copied and pasted the audiobook description from the store, but much to my chagrin, you can’t. Instead, I’ll retype the first sentence and whine about the inability to be lazy.

In the great tradition of the America almanac, The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small.

It’s broken up into three files when played at regular speed, go for almost seven hours. Seven hours. You can’t say that Apple didn’t give you something for Christmas now.

DOH! I actually bought this off of iTunes a month and a half ago. This is a fun listen.
