reading at work

have recently started to enjoy my job a lot more - since obtaining the audiobooks for "lord of the rings" and "harry potter: the order of the phoenix", and the use of my mp3 player, i'm quite able to listen to them whilst working without any difficulty, or loss of work rate (they actually speed me up i think).
i'm currently reading (or listening to) harry potter which is getting pretty riviting - at the bit where harry's started learning occlumency from snape. the other cool thing is, as my mp3 player is able to play stuff back through a variety of environmental settings, i'm not only able to have lord of the rings read to me by a proper old boy (as you'd imagine tolkien himself would sound like) but i'm also listening to it in a cathedral!
i've also found hem's new album "eveningland" sounds amazing in an opera house, and "demolition" by ryan adams was made for a concert hall (or possible an indoor arena...) and its always nice to have stephen fry describing harry's antics sitting in your livingroom, as opposed to an office.
