Books on CD? This is a great idea! I knew some were available, but a more widespread book/cd combo would be more than welcome. I'm thinking especially about poetry on CD. Just strikes me as a good thing.

and the narrator of your choice would be? Re: Re: Re: Reply if you have too much spare time. by Kid. on 2001-03-29 00:07:31  |  Reply to this   Erm.....hello......me? Well, narrator would be anyone. Stephen Fry, Michael Palin, Dame Judi Dench. As long as it isn't someone with a really annoying screech-y voice. I have a wonderful copy of Leslie Phillips reading The Owl And The Pussycat. Ding-dong!

Can you help please? If so, please email me at author@globalnet.co.uk Thanks!

Does anyone even remember Robby Benson (the actor?). Apparently HE finds work doing readings... I was appalled... And Steve Buscemi may have wry wit and makes good off-the-wall movies, but he most certainly should NOT be doing readings either... I tried to listen to him do: Elmore Leonard's " Pagan Babies". I fell asleep. Anyway, I believe in keeping the actual printed page alive and well -- god bless free press! and all those various and sundry art rags floating around. Reading is a good discipline, I think. But I ramble... It's payday again and I'm distacted. The money's already been spent. Nice talkin' to ya Kid (et al)... More on a later date! P.S. For anyone who cares -- may latest library takes include: a great art book called: "Made in California" -- I didn't want to return it! Also, "The Adversary" (a new book) and all the librarians were raving about a young adult book called: "Stargirl". Also I read "The New Yorker" avidly. See ya!

	The tricky bit about a CD is making sure you resume where you broke off the last time. A tape stops right where you are at, but many CD players do not have that feature. Bookmarking is a hassle. It's still an imperfect user interface there.
