"I will now defer to the MP carrying the M249 SAW":) Great pic sir.
...thanks bro....his head barely fit in his brain bucket when he got to carry that during maneuvers...only thing better is when he cut a combatants throat with a Sharpie marker....extra points for that "kill"....

EDIT: Sorry, Steven Weber read IT, not The Stand. They are grouped in my head because they are two of my favorites, two of the longest, and I have both on audio. Sorry! So, listen to IT.

Personally, I don't like Mr. King's reading voice a whole lot. Most "bit" actors do a better job at creating different voices for different characters than authors do.
...I have maintained that King does not posses a classic speaking or announcing voice, but his delivery adds authenticity to his own work...

Another benefit of the kindle...I think this second kindle I have is also called "kindle fire"...and I assume this benefit is found in other e-readers: story I'm on now, All the Pretty Horses, has a buncha Mexican Spanish. Some you discern from context. Others you can highlight the text, several boxes pop open, one a translation of the text. That used to aggravate me...reading...usually one of the Big Names in Literature...and they'd throw in some French? Laissez les bon temps rouler! Well...usually not that...usually something like etre veebee! Or maybe it was raison etre je suis tres bette! Once in a blue moon a previous reader knew what that was and made a note at the bottom. But more often than not I didn't have a clue and I tried to ignore the idea that began to brew...that I'd never amount to much until I'd taken up space in a foreign language speaking class. So I signed up for Latin and developed an attitude. Some people were not meant to be scholars.
I don't think you're tres bette - kinda cute, actually, in that toque!
