Anyway, I am really digging audiobooks at the moment because they are super convenient. I can read while I play games, while I walk around campus, while I check reddit and the forums, while laying in bed with the lights out, etc. I pay enough attention to them that I don't miss many details that I would catch during normal reading and so far I've been getting through books super fast. Unfortunately I keep screwing myself by being dumb. My first blunder was with the Mistborn series, where I accidentally started the second book instead of the first and got like 40 pages in before I realized my mistake. By that time I had already spoiled most of the big events and plot points of the first book for myself. I went back and finished the first book, but I felt I would have enjoyed it more had I not spoiled myself. I did the same exact thing again while reading the First Law Trilogy. I finished the first audiobook and accidentally started the third one instead of the second. I once again did not realize until I was at least a chapter or two in. Then I was like "God damnit, I did it again." and went back to the second book. And then just last night, I had the great misfortune of falling asleep with my audiobook playing. I woke up 2 hours later to a particularly loud section of audio and got a decently large plotpoint spoiled for myself without having really been able to listen to the big buildup to it.
Actually, you guys are right. I shouldn't listen to my gut anyway, as I was completely wrong on several people last game. I'll unlynch Req and lynch tag for being unpopular with the town.
