The book is:
Off to Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer.
Yes, it's the Scott Meyer from Sunnyside, Washington; the Scott Meyer who writes the online cartoon known as Basic Instructions.
I've read this book, and yes, it's quite nerdy. It's also a lot of fun, completely clean (he doesn't even swear), and bizarrely unexpected. Don't read it too quickly, there's a lot of subtle humor that you don't want to miss. I'll admit, some of the humor went over my head. That's okay, even if you don't catch every joke, it's still a fun story.
It's in the Dropbox now in epub and mobi formats (remember, mobi is for kindles, epub should work for basically everything else). Unfortunately, there is no audio edition, so no listening this time around. However, it's not all that long, so it shouldn't cause too much grief.
Trying something new this time around, you can download the epub here <----click right there or the mobi file here <----click right there.
Good luck and happy reading!
