I don't know who's heard about it already, but check this out. Apparently recordings of Tolkien reading from LotR have surfaced, and may be released along with some other rare and interesting recordings by famous authors.

Tennyson reading Charge of the Light Brigade...how fabulous!
Actually, I have a cd of Tolkien doing several readings from LotR, including an excerpt from the Ride of the Rohirrim which would stir the blood of a corpse...I got it free with a gift set of LotR I bought about five years ago. I don't know where you can get it now but I strongly recommend it.
