Downside is I could have read it in a fraction of the time it took to listen to it (which was later proved after I read it). Not sure who the old guy is who narrates it, but he was awesome. Combined with creepy atmoshpheric 'musak', it really gave a great vibe to the story. Best audio book I’ve listened to by far has been Insomnia.

His live readings are hilarious. I think the only books I’d like on audio would be anything by David Sedaris provided it was read by the author. His live readings are hilarious.

Choushmonstah, where the hell are you now? Last time I was home, I tried calling your old Quincy number 700 times, so either you moved or you aren't into that whole "answering machine" thing. Shoot me an e-mail. “nerds” says the guy with the gay emoticon.

The only voices from the original cast are Mark Hammill and Anthony Daniels, but, David Prowse, the guy who played Darth Vader but whose voice was replaced by James Earl Jones, voices Darth Vader and Perry King, pre-Harrison Ford Han Solo, plays Han Solo. It also has some stuff that didn't really make a big impression on me in the movie that really helps define Luke's character more. Good fun. The Star Wars Radio Dramas are pretty a-okay.

A little pricey, and long (13 discs) but well worth it. Also I found the Illiad enjoyable as an audiobook/recitation, perhaps this is because it what originally meant to be heard rather than read.

Also, I fondly remember getting the Hitchhiker's Guide on cassette tape from Turner Free Library. Read by Douglas Adams too.
