THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU It has been driving me NUTS. I was trying to figure out which person in the group was telling the story. Now I know who is telling the story Tell Unit THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'm on chapter 6 or 7 and the book is getting good. I just hope The Lord Of The Rings books are as good.

NC - Unit says you are most welcome and that you will enjoy The Lord of the Rings books too! PS - Unit has read the books at least 6 times, so if you have any questions, leave me a note in my folder and I will ask Unit for you, ok? (We will be in London between March 20 and March 29, but anytime other than between those days that you have a question, you just ask, ok?)

Tolkien is probably the narrator, but the Hobbit is supposed to have been written by Bilbo and translated by Tolkien If you have seen the movie Bilbo is writing as the story begins. The Lord of Rings is supposed to be written by Bilbo, Frodo and Sam with input from the other members of the fellowship. If you read (listen) to the books with this thought in mind you can almost tell who wrote which parts of the book. Enjoy the adventure.

With all of the great Katharine Hepburn tributes lately, I was reminded of how much I enjoyed her autobiography, "Me", and from some clips that were played, it seems that Katharine herself read that one for tape and I think I'll have to get it, just to hear it in her inimitable voice..

I'm so glad to find this thread! I am a books on tape person because I have become ill and find it hard to read anymore. I manage a family business, but was also a small press editor & writer before I got sick. I have tons of "down-time". I can only spend a short time in the shower so I sit in a chair for most of my toiletries (make-up, hair fixing, etc.) I always listen to books on tape, so that rather than it being a daily chore, it's something I look forward to. I went back to Charles Dickens, who bored me to tears in college and I found myself enchanted by his amazing depth of insight into people in any condition or age. It took me two years to go through his books. Then I went on to any other English author I could find. I found that in my head, I lived in England, and that has made me happy--for the most part--(I found Thomas Hardy depressing with his "Strum & Drang" England, and didn't care much for Thackery.) I'm all out of English authors, so now Aardvark audio has been picking out mysteries for me. My current book is Ngaio Marsh, "Death of a Fool"--(set in England). She's New Zealand's version of Agatha Christie, I'm going to go back through this thread & write down books you recommend. Although I liked "living in England", I'm very easy to please with any good book. And recently a friend of mine also recommended Harry Potter.
