But the public domain version contains more then 300 errors. Are you sure you still want to nominate it? I know you can get the corrected version from Baen. It also has 23% more content as the what was edited out has been added back in. So it's a bit longer to read.
I really think that if this wins, that we should all be reading the same version and the only version I will read is the Baen version as I own it. I cannot say if this version has an audiobook edition.[/quote]

I've read the Shipping News and it is incredibly bleak. I don't think I could read Proulx right now. It has all the things I don't want to read about - suicide, sex trafficking, domestic abuse.

I too do not want to read about all suicide, sex trafficking, and domestic abuse. That would be a major downer.
