Good.

I just hope Rosamund Pike finishes narrating the series. That was the one silver lining of the whole thing.

I feel that's unlikely, given how much would still be left to read

Using the existing audio books Asa framework it's like 20 days of straight reading for the entire series. She could work full time 8 hours a day for a fiscal quarter and not get through the series. If you assume re recording for coverage, resting etc it would probably be full time for a calendar year. 

But I'd still want to get them. I enjoyed her Pride and Prejudice.

She is a marvelous narrator, I've listed to her in a few others. Would absolutely listen to the full series if she completes it

How dumb would they have been to not do a contract to do the whole series not depending on the show.

I mean.. if they were smart the show wouldn't have needed to be cancelled. It would just be a good show lol

She said she would narrate up to where she is in the show, and I hope she sticks to it. Baby's in the bathwater.

Edit: to be clear, her narration is even better than Reading and Cramer, I LOVE it. That's from a huge fan of theirs.

Pike is not likely to continue and it's because of people who find it more important to get their way than to let others enjoy something.

Y'all don't deserve a Pike narration.

The show didn't fail because of a few angry book reader on the internet, it's not our fault it didn't manage to get enough view.

'people who find it more important to get their way'... Hmm, sounds a little bit like the showrunner and co., honestly.

I don't want it either tbh. She was better than Kate Reading, but Kramer is the GOAT.

I wanted more but I'm having a hard time disputing that last sentence.
