    Li'l secret - I retain information so well it's embarrassing. As in, has caused me chagrin at parties. People confuse it with intelligence. It's not.

I think I experience this kind of retention, though I don't think it's to the same degree. I think I have some idea of what you mean.

    if I'd purchased it to read, I would have had to pick at it in the 10 minutes before I go to bed.

This is what I'm doing. I've had it for a couple of weeks and I'm only on chapter 29. I downloaded Audible one time to get a copy of Samuel L. Jackson reading Go the F*k to Sleep. I think I'll give a bigger book a try next time around.
