bitpicker and Throbert McGee, many thanks indeed. I see now.

Hanna, Yes, I know, I've listened to it performed both Douglas Adams and Stephen Fry. But I think before listening the book, it's better to understand the senses of phrases, meanings of words, and then you can listen to it as to remember pronunciations of the words, phrases, and then to enjoy it.
"The Catcher in the Rye" have been read by me, only in Russian; by the way, we have it's called "Над пропастью, во ржи / Beside the brink, in the rye" ) I like it, but it's more sad than funny in the Russian edition, I think so... Thank you for the explanation and advice.
