Clive James has a great voice for narration. Did you ever see some of his stuff from the 80's, the Clive James Postcard From... "travel programs"? Funny, erudite and perceptive stuff. I've been going to buy the audio of Cultural Amnesia too. It's abridged, I think, but I also think it was something like 6 hours worth, so I'm not sure the abridgement will be all that damaging (he also has his Talking In the Library segments you can get via iTunes Podcast for nothing).

You're doing better than me. I really need to start setting a cutoff time at night, to go to bed and read rather than stay up all hours MobileReading.
