| 1. | ![]() | The Hobbit
from Listening Library
Customer Review:
I know it's heresy to give Tolkien anything less than a 5. He is the undisputed Lord and Master of the contemporary fantasy genre, from whom all subsequent attempts are somehow derivative. No one has since been able to write speculative fiction without owing Tolkien a great debt. But, while Middle... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I have read and reviewed many diet and exercise books. But, this book truly inspired me. I read it one year ago, and I can say that I feel truly younger this year!

from BBC Radio
Customer Review:
This is without a doubt one of the best books of all time. The US government has been crippled by nuclear war and overthrown by a Christian Theocracy, which subjugates women and persecutes anyone who does not subscribe to the stated belief system. It's strict and secluded. The theocracy claims to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I can't believe that this is the 25th edition of this wonderful reference book. I've been buying them ever since the first issue. And each one was worth the upgrade. After all, would you want to search for a TV program with last years TV Guide? Shortwave broadcast stations change their programming,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is a very impressive book. Great concept, great research, all very well woven together to create an engrossing picture of an industry and a period which are sometimes unfathomable to the layman. As an industry veteran, and as someone who was marginally involved in some of the movies discussed... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

It all starts when Guglielmo Marconi has an idea about inventing a wireless telegraph that would use electromagnetic waves to communicate over long distances. Marconi has an Irish-Italian heritage, and is not very well known.

| 10. |  | War and Peace (BBC Radio Presents)
from Random House Audio
Customer Review:
Tolstoy goes far beyond just hitting the peaks of the story but also, writes at length on the hills, valleys, and everything in between (the material that other authors leave out). It is exhaustively detailed, down to the most mundane description of a character. Being that the high-points are few... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
