Has anyone ever listened to the audiobook version of Me? If so does Kate read it? It seems only logical that she would...now THATS something that I want to hear!

You guys MUST get the audio version of ME. Kate DOES read it and it is sensational.....It IS abridged a bit, though, but even so - it's interesting and funny and terribly moving - just like her. An absolute MUST. The other thing that is an absolute MUST is an audio recording called KATHARINE HEPBURN: A TRIBUTE narrated by Geoffrey Giulano. Giulano takes you through her life and intersperses his comments with recorded commentary (this is stuff that has been culled from other sources) from Bob Hepburn, Marvin Kaplan (a charming segmment), John Dayton (a long interview about the relationship that developed between them during the making of her last TV movies), James Bacon, James Prideaux....and from Kate herself....And HERE is the real reason for buying it. There is a stunning section of Kate talking about Ethel Barrymore - recorded, I'd say in the mid-sixties - probably 1966 or early 67. This section is worth the price of the entire recording - which is pretty reasonable if you go to Amazon.com. You must all trust me on this. Buy it. You will thank me. :-) By the way, Amazon sells the cassette version, but you can also (on the Amazon listing) link to an Audio Download for only $9.95. The cassette version is labeled "abridged." I have never listened to mine because since purchasing it I also downloaded the audio version. So I can't say what is or is not included on the cassette. Download the audio version, to be sure you get it all. Here's the link to it on Amazon. Under Other Editions, you'll see Audio Download. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553525905/qid=1130093555/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7167743-1249611?v=glance&s=books&n=507846(Make sure you copy the entire link - cause it seems to be broken into two lines.) If you order it and hate it, I'll eat my words....but you will not hate it. You will LOVE it...and ME for telling you about it (that is, of course, if you're not already familiar with it). Happy hunting. JS

If perchance you don't want to purchase the audio version of ME on CD's, check at your library because I have been in three libraries recently and each one had it on their shelves. Border's has it in the audio section of their stores. I saw one two days ago at my Borders store. B&N probably has it, too.
