11.Untold Stories: Stories Pt. 1 by: Alan Bennett November 01, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.20
Although the material and take on life are completely different Alan Bennett shares with William S Burroughs a voice that just sucks you into the narrative and makes impossible thereafter to read without hearing the voice in your head. I seldom buy spoken word recordings but sometimes it is a must. Having read (or not ) the books I can close my eyes and be transported in the same way that music works, which is saying something from my perspective. I haven't actaually heard this yet but I do have 3 others by him and I know in advance that it cannot be recommend too highly. The mundaity of it all speaks to and for all of us and above everything else it is the honesty and truth that humbles us. Alan knows that the smallest ... Read More:

12.By Heart: 101 Poems to Remember (Penguin) from: Penguin September 29, 1999

Sorry but this was a great disappointment. As a collection it bears a close resemblance to a school primer and offers no signs of the poems having been chosen except on the basis they are famous. Some of them are really not even technically that good.Maybe it is too much to hope that a good poet can show clear strong taste of his own. Would not recommend it except to a reader who does not know any poems and is starting from scratch. Otherwise a poor choice for a bookclub. A pity.

14.Hancock's Half Hour: The Americans Hit Town/The Unexploded Bomb/The Poetry Society/Sid's Mystery Tour No.1 (BBC Radio Collection) by: Ray Galton, Alan Simpson May 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.35
I was introduced to Hancock by my Grandparents many years ago when I the first heard The Blood Donor, being the most famous (but not in my opinion the best) show - from there on I was hooked and the collector's edition box sets that were eventually released were a dream come true! Supporting Hancock throughout the first series were Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams & Moira Lista. 16 episodes were recorded by the BBC for the first series, broadcast between November 1954 & February 1955, however, only 10 survived at the time the box set was produced. 5 CD's in individual sleeves include two shows per CD, and contain the following episodes in chronological order: The First Night Party The Idol The ...

19.Telling Tales (Radio Collection) by: Alan Bennett November 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.95
I bought Alan Bennett's books on tape for my mother. She used to listen to them in bed at night, lying in the dark as Bennett's gentle, querulous voice described the minutiae of his family life in all its banal detail, illuminated by his wonderful observation and humour. Any one of his sentences will raise a smile. A whole book's-worth leaves you glowing with a feeling that all of our lives are equally full of this richness. How could they not be, when Bennett has found so much in what appears to be such a constrained and circumscribed world? He is indeed a national institution and we are fortunate that his voice on tape is perfectly equal to the poignancy and intimacy of his writing.
