*sigh* It's not ... just ... Amber.

Fair enough. But Amber is enough to put me off from him.

Numerous great novels, numerous GREAT short stories and novellas. He was so influential that many modern writers (such as Gaiman) cite him as their greatest influence.

Well, since Gaiman is pretentious too, that makes sense.

I wouldn't use getting an RPG as a sign of great love, necessarily. I mean, we've both been around long enough to see some bad RPGs based on bad sources.

Nothing wrong with audiobooks. It's the same book, just in a different form. Not my cup of tea, but I know lots of folks who swear by them.

In reality I could care less, but there is still a fair bit of nose-looking-down directed toward audiobooks. To be fair, I still find dramatized versions a bit hard to take seriously and early on they were more common.

Fixing for the happy hermit (I think)

Yeah, I really made a mess of that.

The problem with audiobooks is you can't skim read or easily skip ahead. There are some perfectly good books with dull or repetitive sections (the later Pratchetts for example, when the Alzheimer's started to take effect).

Well, depending on your player it should be easy to skip ahead, or you can adjust the speed. A good player will of course bookmark where you left off, finding your place when you accidentally left it playing can be significantly less fun.
