I snagged that one the first day and started listening to it yesterday. I can't resist a cursed treasure. I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm tempted by this one, since I read The Kite Runner a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. Holding off to check if my husband wants it, since he's the primary consumer of audiobooks in our family and I could always read it instead.

Overdrive doesn't help me, since it only has WMA format which I can't use since I don't run Windows.
