We are going to have a big list to choose from in January at this rate. We already have 9 selections for the runner-up poll and we will have at least 5 more.

From the reviews, there appear to be technical problems with the Jonathan Cecil version. I know I heard some fairly horrible noises in the sample. Otherwise, I'd say it's a toss up.

You can't go wrong with David Case (aka, Frederick Davidson.) One of the best narrators of all time, IMHO. For a recent MobileRead Book Club selection, he was the narrator of The Golden Compass (as David Case). He's also done several of the Richard Sharpe novels, and a bunch of Wodehouse. Overall, a couple of hundred that I'm aware of.

His obituary says that he narrated over 700 audiobooks.

After midnight I'll be posting the July Discussion and the August nominations. HEADS UP for those who might have missed this in the Announcement forum: From 4-6 a.m. EST MobileRead will be undergoing maintenance. All traffic during that time will be temporarily re-routed, so if you're online during those hours and trying to nominate a book, expect delays.

Thanks for the warning, Tom. I, for one, had missed it. Or rather, I saw it but didn't actually _register_ it.
Meanwhile, a long trip tomorrow with the Frederick Davidson version of Something Fresh should finish of the reading. |
