I got the audiobook and it's crackin me up.  I've never read it before and so far it's been shits and giggles all the way. It really isn't that bad--i forget why some of you said you didn't care for the book.  I just have to admit that Ken Campbell & Chris Fairbank voices are killin me.   :lol:  Campbell sounds like Dudley Moore on bad Whiskey.   :lulz:

Actually, I3 as an audio book would probably work pretty well.

I love Illuminatus.  And it's nice to hear Hagbard's name pronounced.

I enjoyed the audiobooks too...

It's a trip to listen to I3 on the iPod while pretending to work at the office.

personally, I loved Illuminatus through and through. How long is the audio book?

The whole thing is about 35 hours and unabridged.  the speakers end up crackin each other up and that breaking of the fourth wall tends to fit rather well into the whole thing too.

i'm sure you could probably find somewhere it if you looked hard enough.

We have a place where you can just BUY audiobooks (as in nothing else, so largish selection and can order from there), so I think I'll either buy it there or check it out from the library if they have it.  We have a long trip out to go visit my dad before New Years (about 7 hours in the car there, same back), and this sort of thing is always good to keep us from getting bored.

Does torrent work for Macs?  I've never been able to figure out how to use it... but I am very computer retarded.
