(recordedbooks.com) Paddy Doyle's Star Called Henry was enjoyable, if you like him (The Commitments, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, etc), and the O'Brian was good. I've been doing a pretty wide variety, but unfortunately some of my recent ones have been pretty so-so. Unfortunately many of my favorite authors (Brust, Capek, Taibo, etc) aren't on books-on-tape. Yes, I'll have to order American Gods, and the O'Brian, for that matter. I do wish they produced more good books onto tape/CD. There is a Lovecraft one out there, but it's "read" by computer, I've heard, so I haven't bought it. > Maybe you could give me some suggestions? There is a collection of Poe's work, read by Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone, which I greatly enjoy. I also must confess to enjoying the Harry Potter series (well, at least #s three through five). I blew off reading them for years, then went on a trip to San Diego with my SO (who had read them), and, for the trip down, bought the fourth on CD (it's a long trip). I was quite surprised by how good it was, and the reader, Jim Dale, does an excellent job. (Yeah, guilty little secret. What, you don't have any?) <grin> If you're a crazy liberal like me, Michael Moore's _Stupid White Men_ is also on CD (though, IIRC, it is not read by him.) I've listened to some others, but those I recommend, and I'll admit that I haven't bought *that* many, and listen to KPFA enough to satisfy the rest of my driving time. :) Chris (Who's daily commute runs about 2.5-3 hours....<sigh>;) "Life is the nightmare that leaves its mark upon you in order to prove that it is, in fact, real." -Thomas Ligotti- 'The Sect of the Idiot'
