A friend of mine, a British TV actress by profession, has a nice sideline in narrating audiobooks while she's "between" acting jobs. She's narrated several hundred of them.
Who is your friend that narrates books? I have been none to find a narrator I like and search the library for that name and listen to those books.

Do you have an Ipod Nano? I keep asking and nobody has one or they don't use the sleep timer. But I got a Nano a few months ago and the sleep timer doesn't work on some of my audiobooks. It works fine when I listen to music. Anyone?
