Audio books
Does anyone else enjoy listening to audio books? I grew up listening to loads of children's books on tape (it was like having all these different actors read me bedtime stories) and I feel that I really got to know the stories better because I listened to the tapes a lot more often than I read the books, and I could dip in and out of them. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, read by Michael Hordern, was a particular favourite, largely because of the beautiful accompanying harp and flute music.
Anyway, I haven't listened to many adult novels on tape, though I do have lots of great poetry collections. Would anyone like to share their favourites?
