So have you heard about Librivox yet?
This is for audiobooks what Project Gutenberg is for normal (text) books. Librivox offers free recordings of public domain publications made by volunteers. I had looked at it before, but hadn’t been to impressed by the quality of some of the recordings.
I must have hit a dud though, because while perusing for an audiobook version of Jane Eyre, I came upon a version available on Librivox which is highly recommended. The reader, Elizabeth Klett, is so good she’s getting a large following online. I tried it out today, and it’s great. I breezed through the first three chapters and didn’t want to stop. Klett’s voice is perfect, not grating, and her impersonation of the many characters impressive. I highly recommend it. Plus she has an exciting array of other projects she’s done on Librivox and has more in the works, all free. Audiobook heaven!
In other book news: I’ve returned from my long vacation in Bulgaria. The entire trip was non-stop, so I really didn’t get to read at all. However I began Queen’s Play on the way back in earnest, and am now about 1/3 through. This is my (I think) third reading of the book and it truly gets better every time.
