I'd never really thought much about "Books on Tape" until I recently checked out a PJ O'Rourke book read by what seemed like a mean old geezer. Now that I kinda like the idea more, I was just wondering what certain books would sound like as read by certain celebrities (such as the title of my message). Here's just a sample of "wacky, off-the wall, and comic" potentials:

Green Eggs and Ham read by Ahnuld

A Tale of Two Cities read by Charles Nelson Reilly

Mr. T's autobiography read by Henry Kissinger

the Complete Poetry of John Keats read by Ben Stein

any other "funny", "wacky", or "existential" possibilities with this? or will this thread die a quick death (funny, it SEEMED like a good idea last night)?
