Hmmmm. I'm guessing
Charlie and
Heart, respectively.
I'm completely uninterested in
Charlie. It didn't exist when I was of an age to find it interesting, and I just can't get excited now. OTOH, I somehow missed having
Heart of Darkness enforced on me, and there's a very good audio book version, with narration by "Frederick Davidson" (real name, David Case), one of my all time favourite narrators.
Other good narration choices, by the way, include
Far from the Madding Crowd,
Hiroshima,
Captains Courageous (which I read for the first time about a year ago), and Peter Pan (either Jim Dale or Donada Peters).
