Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov

Sometimes I forget that this space can be used to disseminate all kinds of information, not just quotidian snarkiness and Internet réchauffé. And so, from time to time, I might post something here just for the sake of convenience.
With that in mind, I apologize to those of you for whom the following list is totally useless.
As for the rest of you, here, as per our conversation, is a(n incomplete) selection of the audiobooks I have. If you'd like to borrow any of them, lemme know.
(oh uh and in case anyone is wondering, I still haven't read most of these myself. This is what happens when one lets one's Audible membership get out of hand.)
