Audio book links

[Brent]

Some times you can find used versions on these on ebay or half.com.

I prefer the Stephen Fry ones myself but they are a bit harder to 
find in the US.

Jim Dale seems to read through pretty fast compared to Fry or it 
seems that way.  For book 1 it is only 20min longer in the fry 
version though.  8:05 vs 8:23.

If you are looking for MP3 versions here is a cheap auction.  I would 
question how official they are as it states "THESE DISCS WERE 
IMPORTED FROM MALAYSIA AND WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD IN THE FAR 
EAST..."  .
