113.The Complete "Talking Heads" (BBC Radio Collection) by: Alan Bennett October 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.49
I am a fan of talking books, and I would describe many of the ones that I have heard as good, entertaining, thought provoking even. But this collection of stories stands so far above everything else that I have listened to that I can't see them ever being eclipsed. They are that very rare thing in literature - something that is brilliant, complex, moving - but absolutely not worthy, or 'difficult'. How many of us have struggled through a Booker prize winner because we 'ought to', when really it was too much like hard work? These stories are just so entertaining.

114.Alan Bennett Double Bill: Starring Sir John Gielgud and Patricia Routledge: Forty Years On/A Woman of No Importance: Starring Sir John Gielgud and Patricia Routledge (BBC Radio Collection) by: Alan Bennett September 12, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.00
Here in the U.S. Patricia Routledge is well known for her work in "Keeping Up Appearances", so it is a bit of a surprise to discover the depth of her dramatic abilities. The recent Hetty Wainthrop series is a good example, as is the one woman play "A Woman of No Importance" that is half of this audio tape. It really is the story of a woman of no particular importance to the rest of the world, except that thru her life she manages to make the world a better place. Forty Years On is very funny, but despite the big names (Sir John Gielgud, Paul Eddington, Alan Bennet, Dorothy Reynolds, etc.) I thought it wasn't as powerful as the Patricia Routledge performance.

118.The Iliad (Penguin Classics) by: Robert Fagles, Homer March 21, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.00
a masteroiece. some abridgement but very little of note. jacobi gives a terrific performanced- majestic, dramatic and holds the attention throughout i like the translation- modern and understandable yet retaining power and not popular/vulgar homer may have been an oral poet(fagles questions this in the written introduction-worth getting for this alone), in which case it is now possible to close your eyes and imagine the great man reciting his epic in person

Prosaic straightforward presentation of text and gloss. Should be enough to get a "B" if you learn it.
