I'm listening to Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy, narrated by Derek Perkins, and it's enthralling. Non-fiction and 25 hours long, this is the type of audiobook that I usually like to break up with something light, but there's no need here.
Just as well, my current Wodehouse is languishing a bit. Not the Master at his best and even Frederick Davidson is not up to form, and he's my favorite reader of Wodehouse. My issue here is with his accents, not his strong point. A story narrated by a Frenchman was painful and I'm starting to resent his rendition of American voices. We don't all talk through our noses!
