That’s totally fair. I mostly have read the physical copies because I’ve picked them up at either library book sales or the used book section at one of the indie bookstores I frequent. I did buy the most recent one in audio format though.

Hahaha a big reason why I go audiobook on that series. The physical books are too unwieldy and uncomfortable to read and I don't have an eReader so the ebooks wouldn't be good to read on just my phone. Also Michael Kramer is just an outstanding book narrator.


Pffft, Kramer; reminds me of Seinfeld... :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist...! :P

Let it be known that on the first day of 2025, I FINALLY finished reading the Oppenheimer bio.  :w00t:

I started on 12/15, so it took me exactly 17 days to get through all 591 pages.

 

Let me just say that Chris Nolan really did his homework with the film: he incorporated so many details and even little pieces of dialogue down to the exact words. I'm utterly impressed.

Whoop! Way to go!

I haven't seen the film, but it is always good when a filmmaker does their homework
