I believe that Harry Potter audiobooks are the new earplugs, dahling...and that they are often on loan from the library.
What an excellent idea! (Where do I stand buying audiobooks when on the books challenge)

:rotfl:Um, well, the thing is, the audiobooks are horribly, horribly expensive, so I loaned them from the library and listened to them that way. If you have about £70/book to spend, then feel free! Stephen Fry narrates them and gives each character a different voice, so they are gerat fun, but there's no way I could have personally afforded to buy them. I've listened to them all, bar Goblet of Fire, which was taken out of circulation due to a fault. 
Might see if a friend can get hold of it in the lirary system of the borough next door...;) Please call me 'Pickle'
