Finished
Cannery Row. This was narrated by Jerry Farden, and I must say the narration was superb. He has a perfect deep, craggy voice for this book, and he very much brought the book alive. Wonderful book, and wonderful narration.
Also read
Tracker, #16 in the Foreigner series from C.J. Cherryh, read by Daniel Thomas May. Mr. May has been the reader for each of the Foreigner books, and I've listened to all of them, most multiple times. His voice is inextricably linked with the books for me, and that's a very good thing. If you enjoy SF at all, and are interested in the interaction of cultures, I highly recommend the series. But please, start with #1,
Foreigner. And look forward to a wonderful, and long, series.
Next up,
The Resistance Man, by Martin Walker and read by Robert Ian Mackenzie. This is #6 in the delightful adventures of Bruno, Chief of Police of a small town in the Perigord. I've just started, but already falling into the magic of the town, the people, and the animals. I thought I had a couple of these as Audible books, but apparently not, so this is my first experience with Mr. Mackenzie reading the books. So far, so good.
