Book club --> book --> audiobook --> bonus narrator discovery!

[starfishstar]

Hey gracerene, I just yesterday discovered that the audiobook of "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" is narrated by....Lin-Manuel Miranda. Yes, indeed, he of current and meteoric fame for the musical "Hamilton"!

I only got the audiobook out from the library because I thought I might be able to get to it sooner than I'd be able to get started on the physical book (which I also already had out from the library) because I'm still in the middle of reading my other book club book (for my RL book club). But now in addition to the fact that this looks like a great book I absolutely want to read, it's got this bonus aspect that the audiobook is read by a mad smart and creative person I'm curious to find out more about. Sweet!

So I'm working on trying to be able to join in on your online_bookclub this month (though still not actually sure I'm going to be able to read the book in time...)

Woo!!!

That's awesome! I love when stuff works out like that. :) I definitely hope you can join in. I just finished reading the book last weekend and I really loved it. :)

:-) Yeah, I love when little details align and cross over... This also led me to read up more on L-M M and find out that he was the guy who guest starred on the all-in-rhyme episode of How I Met Your Mother, and managed to rap with the hard-to-rhyme word "Canada." :-)

As for the book, I'm only just up to the moment where the title characters meet (so, barely starting) but the book is clearly great already!
