   Last week my wife who is an avid audiobook listener borrowed  "The   
   Taking of Pelham 123" from our local library.  I hadn't heard it since   
   the book itself came out in the 1970s and was read on a local NPR   
   station.  I couldn't help comparing it to the film version which I   
   have always regarded as the "gold standard".  My opinion hasn't   
   changed - the film adaptation was much better.   
      
   A brief run-through of Amazon and eBay shows that a new copy of that   
   audiobook is being offered for $165   (no, that's not a misprint) but   
   used copies that are library surplus can be had for about $10   
   including shipping.  I'm sorely tempted to add it to my collection.
