Reading progress update: I've read 16 out of 386 pages.

*grumbles*
I have the Clipper audiobook (unabridged) narrated by Nigel Carrington to enjoy alongside my (fabuous) Penguin Classics edition.
And while Nigel Carrington is an excellent narrator, I question the producers' competence to produce an audiobook, because they have broken what to me should be one of the first rules of creating an audiobook:
DO NOT GIVE A SPOILERY SYNOPSIS OF THE PLOT AT THE START OF THE BLOODY BOOK!!!
Idiots.
Luckily, I caught this in time to hit the "forward" button on the cd. I'm peeved, tho.
