("The things hollow-it seems to go on forever- and Oh my God- it's full of stars!")

I have recently purchased a few "books on cassette" and was wondering if there
is interested in discussing this topic?

 There seems to be a fairly wide selection of material available, everything from
sci-fi to the classics. I have noticed that most of these are selected excerpts
from the book(s) in question, but there are a few "full length" versions of some
books. I especially like the ones which are read by the author, since they can
add the proper inflection/perspective to what they have written. 

 I have enjoyed the 6-8 tapes I recently purchased! One of my favorites
is the one with William Shatner reading the first few chapters of Asimov's
Foundation Trilogy . 

 If there is any interest in further discussion of this subject, please
let me know. 

 Best Regards;
