I listened to it about six months ago. I love how they have two narrators, I think it gives a whole different dimension to the book. It really is such a fabulous story! I hope you like Among Others.

If you are interested, I compiled a list of all the titles mentioned in the book. It is posted on her LJ blog: http://papersky.livejournal.com/509278.html
