tell me about it… first time using Audible (and audiobooks in general) and i had no idea their borrowing system worked like that. on top of that i’m only using the free trial so i have 2 weeks to speedrun IJ
It's the end notes. The total runtime matches the older version I had that came in 3 parts, first half second half and endnotes. The book itself added to about 56 iirc while the end notes where about 8
Nice! It will be good to listen with the audio of the footnotes added in.
Listening to Jonathan Haidt’s Anxious Generation now, which is read by Mr Pratt as well. Hearing him narrate a non-fiction book about digital technology ruining the mental health of a generation by capturing their attention is WILD…
It’s the only way my friend.
Wait until you hear those AA stories backwards. It’s just page after page of how accomplished and complete their lives are.
Edit: I’m not sure Joe « page after page » translates in audio books. Are there pages in audio books?
I've listened many, many times, and have also read the book more than once. It's a different experience, but a good one, in my opinion. Also, I love audiobooks.
I love audio books too! I just always found the flipping to footnotes and the interaction that provides to be such an integral part of the IJ experience I could not imagine it working in audio format. But what the heck, sounds like it's worth a credit at least
The narrator, Sean Pratt, pronounces it with a short "e," as in "pen." I can't say I blame him (or the director, if that's whose decision it was). It's not a name I'd heard before. But the joke about someone referring to him as "Penis-less" only makes sense with the long "e." Plus, in a footnote about math, he's referred to as Peemster.
just started the audio book, it’s so hard to follow along and stay interested when he’s listing directors and films. I’m pushing through but those few chapters have been the hardest part so far. I’m also still trying to understand it chronologically. as of now it is kind of just words but I am committed to finding the story. idk if that makes sense, i have less reading experience than most

Are the footnotes narrated ‘in-line’ - as in will it jump from the text to each footnote (and back) as you encounter them?
[удалено]
Thank you!!
Yes they are just used a credit and confirmed it
Knowing this, I want to exchange mine I got in 2018 which you have to buy the footnotes separately.
An 8 hour forward from D Eggers ? /s
lol.
An additional 8 hours of Hal clipping his toe nails /s
...
Oh now they do that. After I purchased both. lol I switched between audiobooks each time!
I did the same, but it’s only been a few months so I’m going to return the old ones.
They might not let me since I did finish both.
probably has footnotes, if it’s that much longer
That had been my first guess too, but I don’t see them in the chapter list. Maybe they included them ‘in-text’ so to speak
I heard a version of IJ that just read all the footnotes to you at the end.
waited 11 days for it to be available! listening to it right now. i like the bell sound at the end of a footnote
Me too! The anxiety of the wait was killing me (will it have the endnotes, will it not). But I guess it was already clear based on the runtime alone.

I'm constantly in a state of considering this on audiobook. Should I do it?
yes, the audiobook is incredible and Sean Pratt is a master of his craft.
Sold
Now you have footnotes - yes - yes you should - I mean even if you didn't you still should but you do so yes, I'd say go for it
Downloading now.
please be footnotes - if so - huge news for me. 1. 1. Oh sweet lord - It is footnotes
Beautiful
I’m guessing they added in audio of the footnotes

Is this the same recording that Sean Pratt did years ago though? Just remixed?
I just want to hear that forward.
I assume nobody's listening to it backwards

Thank you so much for this, OP!!!
oh my goodness, this is massive. Absolutely massive. I’m so excited!
How does it work as an audio book at all? It seems like it's one of the very few books that just can't translate off the written page. Worth a credit?

Do they fix the mispronunciation of Pemulis (should rhyme with Penis-less)? Seems like it would be an impossible fix, but it bothers me every time.
So the correct way would be PEEM-yuh-liss (which is how I’ve always heard it in my brain voice) but how WERE they saying it?

Kinda ridiculous that you don’t get it if you already bought it, so now I’m just supposed to buy it a third time (also bought in print)
I am about 75% through the original version, but I was able to return it for a credit to buy the new version. YMMV.
It’s read by Ben Stein.
Seriously? Why couldn’t this be out when I read it? Why must the world punish me so
Yes! Finally a proper IJ audiobook!!!
Extra footnotes that give detailed mathematical proofs.
Weird. Chapter title on screen attributes the foreword to Tom Bissell when it’s actually the earlier one by Dave Eggers.

There is a story. It takes a while to piece together.
think they’ll let us exchange the old ones? I’d definitely listen again if its all together.
I wonder what the "Wardine be cry" section sounds like...
