Ready Player One

I skipped this one the first time around, but when one of my blogging friends said this was “the best audio she'd ever listened to,” and noted that the audio was read by Will Wheaton, I found a copy and gave it a listen.

This grew into one of those fun experiences that we sometimes have with our reading. My husband was interested in hearing the story, too, so we started it on a long trip we took to visit a sick family member (safely, of course) and liked it enough to continue to listen every evening for several days after we returned home.

I can see the appeal, especially for video game fans, of a virtual treasure hunt set by a dead man. It was delightful even for me, a person who knows little of the history of video games and classic sci fi movies and books.
