Most people know the polymathic John Hodgman as the likable "PC - Guy" on the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" adds for Apple. But before he was a likeable counterpoint to the snarky "Mac Guy", Hodgman wrote a book called "The Areas Of My Expertise", which is a "satirical almanac." Now, in its wisdom, Apple is giving away the entirety of the audiobook for free.
The full title of the book is actually:
An Almanac of Complete World Knowledge Compiled with Instructive Annotation and Arranged in Useful Order by Me, John Hodgman, a Professional Writer, in the Areas of My Expertise, which Include: Matters Historical; Matters Literary; Matters Cryptozoological; Hobo Matters; Food, Drink, & Cheese (a Kind of Food); Squirrels & Lobsters & Eels; Haircuts; Utopia; What Will Happen in the Future; and Most Other Subjects; Illustrated with a Reasonable Number of Tables and Figures, and Featuring the Best of "Were You Aware of It?", John Hodgman's Long-Running Newspaper Novelty Column of Strange Facts and Oddities of the Bizarre
Get it yet? Not to be missed is Hodgemans recitation of 700 Hobo names, complete with Jonathan Coulton playing "Big Rock Candy Mountain".
