Sweaters

I don't know what happened--maybe my room intersects with an alternate dimension--but I used to have a pile of sweaters suitable for wearing indoors, and now I have three, and one of them recently got eaten by the aerye, and neither of the other two are black.
So if anyone is wondering what I would like for a holiday gift: black sweaters or hoodies suitable for wearing indoors would be sincerely appreciated.
And if any of the alien beings from that alternate dimension who are wearing my sweaters intend on sending them back: please wash them first.

Random book-related fact of the day

The Hotel Denouement from the Lemony Snicket books is based on
this hotel in NYC

which uses the Dewey Decimal System to organize it's rooms.
I now know the location of my personal Disneyland.

Neil Gaiman on audiobooks

from this morning's NPR morning show
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120769925&ps=cprs
At a little over seven minutes, there is only so much discussion that can happen in a segment, but Gaiman makes some nice points, such as reading on audio is not a new thing and that some critics's definitions of reading composed explicitly to rule out audiobooks as a legitimate form of reading are not always very robust.
I myself would often prefer the text version of a book because I find listening to someone else's voice reading to me changes the experience, but I will listen to books read by particular readers--Neil Gaiman for one, Doug Bradley for another--and I also love audiobooks that play with the form, either intentionally or accidnetally. The first audiobook I fell in love with was, okay, Tim Curry reading Anne Rice's _Cry to Heaven_, a magnificent audio recording with bits of Italian opera included. But there was also Neal Stephenson's _The Diamond Age_, because I thought having my computer read me a book about a book which read itself aloud to a little girl was the stuff of pure fantasy. Another great audiobook: _Soon I Will Be Invincible_, which alternates chapters between a comics-style supervillain and a new female superhero, and the voice actors were so incredible that I can't even imagine the print book being better.

Do other people have audiobooks with which they have fallen in love?
