Audiobook: The Areas of My Expertise |
|
|
Johnathan Hodgman's "The Area Of My Expertise" is a highly entertaining 7 hours of completely fabricated hilarity.
The book is more of a comedy album in the style of an almanac than anything else. John teams up with John Coultan on guitar and manages to breathe comedic timing and vocal deadpanning in ways the book could never bring. Even verbatim readings of tables bring an interesting rendition to book.
The almanac covers topics such as Omens, portents, Eels, Hobos, and Famous D&D Matchups. The culmination of the book is a 1 hour reading of over 700 made-up hobo names. Highly recommended.
Who would like this album: Followers of the Daily Show
Who would hate this album: People without a sense of humor. Someone who couldn't stand a work of fiction parading as fact.
