I've been called worse. ;) Though for the record, my only computer is a Windows machine. :) If I weren't using iTunes, I'd find another player to aggregate my podcast RSS feeds.

I was going to listen to it on the website but i did manage to download and listen to it on Itunes :)

Bytheway do you guys remember if they asked my question? I have not finished listening to it yet.

The answer to your question is 42.

Lol Nick, Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy is a great book.

Been catching up on all my podcasts and listened to the interview. It was interesting, and Scott reminded me (personality wise) of another author interview I listened, but for the life of me, I can't place it.

Would have been interested to learn why seven books. If he mapped it out to exactly seven or if it was an editor decision.

Lastly and maybe most importantly, but someone explain: "it's easily lemmable" to me.

S&L dictionary:
LEM: (pronounced as lem) verb: to quit reading a book because you lose interest in it. Usually because it is boring or there is another more interesting book in your massive "to be read" pile.

Origins: Veronica quit reading Memoirs Found in a Bathtub by author Stanisław Lem because it bored her almost to death. So now when someone quits reading a book they have "lemmed" that book.
