Anyone else read it?

I'm getting ready to start it on audiobook...It's supposed to be part snow crash, and part homage to the 80s...Audiobook is read by Wil Wheaton - who is also a character....should be fun
-
So...No one else read it....but it's going to be directed by Steven Spielberg! I'm not quite sure how I feel about that...I hope it's really good, but it's not a super action book in my head, so I hope it doesn't go over the top.
Also - Seriously? No one else here read an Ode to 80's Nerdom?

It's in my queue to read. Purchased it a little while ago. Former co-worker was a huge fan of the book. I'm just not a big reader so it takes me a while to get around to books.
-
Yeah... I read it. I just don't read here as much anymore. It is an awesome book. I loved it.

just noticed this tread from almost 7 years ago. They made a movie. It was well promoted. I torrented a really bad cam version while it was still in theaters. The quality was kinda unwatchable (and I might have been in my heavy drink phase at the time) but I turned it off after 20 minutes because it just seemed like a bad movie*. Did anyone see it? Especially any of you who read/listened-to the book?
*also, a few months ago I walked out of the new Aladan reboot after an hour... but I had a several drinks before i got there and brought in another from the theater bar. That might have had something to do with it. I mention this because apparently I think all movies suck when I'm drinking. LOL

Ready was a meh movie. Too much taken out. Great fun to see all the cool references stuffed in throughout it.
Aladin was not the disaster I expected. Would not recommend though.
