“Soul-durr” for solder. While I understand the easy mistake, it was the final straw in a string of mispronunciations and her unusual cadence that made me return the audiobook to the library. Ironically, I was soldering at work when I heard it.

Oh my god. I forgot about this book until your comment. My teacher dragged it OUT. Read Cannery Row on my own years later and finally understood why people like him.
