1. Wouldn't getting it from iTunes be more manageable?
I just checked, and the iTunes (Audible) version is $25.95. However, I can't tell how big the file download is.

I'm just curious if you've tried iTunes... I've never bought an audiobook on disk.

2. My beloved public library has it on disc...
Will probably bring in a couple discs and listen to see if I get into the story or not...

3. Thomas Pynchon Audiobook?
Let me guess.

There's only one and no one's ever seen it?

5. He's becoming almost prolific...
Against the Day was in 2007, and he has a new detective novel (!!!) coming out in a couple months. Cover looks like an Elmore Leonard book or even a Jimmy Buffett...

6. Two books in as many years? What a sellout.
Next thing you know he'll be on Jimmy Kimmel's show doing bits with Uncle Frank.

4. I think the one with most discs I've gotten so far was The Source
by Michener. Don't remember how many but it was A LOT
