We got a freebie of the abridged version of "The Count of Monte Cristo." It was 17 hours for a book that is otherwise 40+, and I felt pretty okay about. Heck, I think I actually felt relieved.

Of course, I say that, then I jumped at the chance to pick up "Shogun" at 53 hours. I guess that's consistency for 'ya.
