Listening to Discworld Novels

[winther]

I've never really understood why abridged audiobooks exist at all... I mean, why would you read only half a book? what's the point? Anyone know why?

Dunno - for people with short attention spa . . . SQUIRREL!!!

This is a good idea. I need something for long car journeys, an exciting book. I get really bored of the radio.

Are there any Discworld audio CDs that actually have a cast of different actors playing the parts, as opposed to Tony Bloody Robinson doing all the voices?

The only one I've heard so far is Equal Rites, and all the voices sound the same to me.

Much preferred Rankin's Brightonomicon, with a full cast.

There are radio plays on the Beeb with different actors, but they haven't made them available to punters. I do have a copy of Night Watch though and it's excellent.

I dont like Tony Robinson's narration either Bouncy, this may be of interest to you.

I've got The Brightonomicon, is probably my favourite Rankin book, although a lot had to be left out of the audio version as it's very much funny when you read it, but doesn't translate to audio.

I Know but it was the others I was refering to, my favs, the first four.
