This is great! We love listening to Jim Dale as he reads the Harry Potter books. I had my 8 year old listen to Half Blood Prince before we saw the movie. Mr. Dale's voice is smooth and powerful.

Having a Hall of Fame for audio books is kinda weird but I guess it was bound to happen. I guess the Harry Potter series is really going to be on every format availabe. First the books, then the movies and now audio tapes, what's next? As long as they win awards in every category, which it should, I'll be happy.
