I read this one a couple years ago, and I'm currently listening to the audio for a re-read. How are you liking it?

I'm really enjoying it. Plus, a large chunk takes place where I live -- Columbus, Ohio -- so that's pretty awesome. My family and I are going to meet Ernest Cline next month and get a signed copy of his new book Armada. We're pretty stoked about that. I had bought this book for my husband and he loved it and passed it on to our 10-year-old son, who also loved it. I figured I'd better read it, too, and find out what all the fuss was about. I'm certainly glad I did because it has been quite the page-turner!
