Audio Books for the road
« on: 2008-04-08, 19:09:00 »
Something my wife and I enjoy is listening to audio books as we travel.
This coming weekend we'll listen to this excellent classic:
http://www.amazon.com/Elric-1-Melnibone-Michael-Moorcock/dp/0809562731/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207681598&sr=8-1

Elric was perhaps my most favorite literary hero/anti-hero. I have been a fan of the author
since my early teens, although I admit I couldn't get into his Hawkmoon character back then
but maybe I should give them another go.

Apparently the Elric Saga is being resurrected and I read somewhere on the net quite
recently that Michael Moorcock has sold the movie rights of the Elric Saga to Universal
...does this mean what I hope it means?  :o

EDIT:
Apparently it DOES mean what I hoped it meant!

That really is a good idea. We haven't started grabbing audio books for the long trips yet; usually just listening to music. But it's a thought we've entertained! :)
