   How about a text version? Some of us don't care a quantum about audio readings. Thanks.

   No text version, sorry -- that's part of my deal with the publisher. I can podcast it in advance, but I can't publish it in text until it's been out for a while.

   I listened to this and I was putting my CDs back into the computer. As he read I had Danny Elfman's theme from Spider-Man playing, it really seem to fit well some how. lol

   new to your work, via xkcd references, really liked a clockwork fagin, pt. 1!

   i'm scarberian, & old enough to be still be amused when i encounter toronto references in a work of fiction; like we were a real, important, world class city or something ^__^

   noob question: will each new mp3 be announced via twitter?

   I won't announce 'em, no, but the podcast feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/doctorow_podcast) is auto-updated every time a new installment goes up.

    Wow, this promises to be great! In fact, part one is already (great, that is)! I like the playfulness of CF's language, something I've been missing from Cory's recent novels which were very matter-of-fact.

    Somehow "hung-over" sounds a bit out of place. (Caveat: English isn't my first language, so I may very well be completely wrong.)
