When LoTR came out to the movies year before last I went out and was lucky enough to get a great deal on The Fellowship of the Ring on CD and listened to it multiple times while traveling between Houston and Dallas. On the opposite hand I found a book on tape for Enders Game at the library on year and decided that would be a great book to listen to. A few minutes into it I realized "Hey, this isn't right." and looked in the case and saw it was only two CDs. If I had bought that one I would have been back at the store faster then Rosie O'Donnell on a gallon of Ice Cream.
