Do you like Shakespeare? My local library has a set of dramatized recordings

of his plays on CD.

I've listened to some of them, and find them very entertaining. I've always liked Shakespeare. It's amazing how much tones convey--hearing some character say something in an angry/anxious/happy tone, as opposed to just reading it.

Arkangel is the publisher. If your library is large, chances are they'll have the set.

The band of brothers speech is beautiful prose poetry. Performed and you want to suit up and stand with Harry.
