I thought it might be fun to buy an (unabridged) audiobook of a Spanish novel and read along with the text to get the flavor of how it sounds spoken.

But I’m having trouble finding any audiobooks of Spanish novels that aren’t translated into English. I’ve been looking through iTunes and Amazon but I’m willing to go where the action is. I understand there are regional versions of iTunes and Amazon but I have no idea how to access them.

Can anyone recommend a good Spanish language audiobook (doesn’t even have to be fiction, but not looking for “learn Spanish” books), and where to purchase or download it?

Note, while public domain / alternative copyright stuff is fine, it had to be read by a real person and not a computer.

Gracias!

[One of the Narnia](http://www.amazon.com/Bruja-Ropero-Chronicles-Narnia-Spanish/dp/1933499931/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316709596&sr=1-1) books. I don’t think the Amazon info says, but I know it’s unabridged.

Or you could try looking for others by the publisher - _PhonoLibro_.
