She is a British theatre actress and she does bring the book to life.Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560749804810805779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-85393308541372960722010-06-25T18:12:27.434-07:002010-06-25T18:12:27.434-07:00Ciara, he tried to do a girls voice?

I should try again but I think it's because I listen to so much music on my iPod, it all blends into the background.. <br /><br />Another great post!!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521584458356470972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-18967037674823503842010-06-25T16:34:57.125-07:002010-06-25T16:34:57.125-07:00Tracy - Ha.

He is just too good at times (his reading of John Gardner's "Grendel" made me so depressed that my friends were worried about me).<br /><br />I think I may like Stephen Fry's reading of the Harry Potter books than Jim Dale's (I just don't like his Hermione).<br /><br />I also enjoy Nigel Planer's reading of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books better than Stephen Briggs'. Nero Wolfe stories are not complete without Michael Prichard. And Robert Tull's reading of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books are not to be missed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-27994125241723937792010-06-25T12:05:26.205-07:002010-06-25T12:05:26.205-07:00I'm just getting into audiobooks.

Recently did a re"read" of Graceling by Kristen Cashore by listening to the full-cast audiobook. Currently listening to the dramatization (not exactly the same as an audiobook)of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters.<br /><br />Jen of Devourer of Books actually held an audio book week this week. Lots of great reccs and discussions on all things audio: <br />http://www.devourerofbooks.com/<br /><br />Also for YA readers/listeners the online community Sync is offering 2 free audiobook downloads a week starting in July. 1 title is a current YA title the other a classic. Might be a good way to try audiobooks if you're not sure about them! <br /><br />http://www.audiobooksync.com/Molliehttp://bookfaredelights.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-52714965341840395452010-06-25T09:13:54.293-07:002010-06-25T09:13:54.293-07:00I have to say that I've thought about listenin...I have to say that I've thought about listening to audio books but have never done it. I used to love to be read to when I was small but didn't like it much after I was 10. <br /><br />Maybe one day I'll give it a try...and stay away from those regency's with the men reading 10 pages of sex. lolTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.com
