i wish there were an Audible version. I would try it. But right now, if it isn't audible, I haven't got time...

I would also point out that humour is a very difficult subject just because it works differently for different people coming from different shared experiences and cultures and is absolutely the hardest to get to cross that cultural divide. Some of us, for example, find Midnight Riot/Rivers of London funny. Others do NOT. Clearly, there's a difference here with this book. Makes me want to read it if only to see where it hits me.

ETA: And suddenly, there IS an Audible version of it. OK, mouth make promises...

I'll start on it over the weekend.
