I just finished The Warden, Trollope's first Barsetshire novel, read by Simon Vance. Not the best of Trollope; as I recall, he hits his stride with the next book. I'm looking forward to Mrs. Proudie. I've also been listening to Wodehouse's The Clicking of Cuthbert, read by Frederick Davidson. A sign of Wodehouse's genius is that he can make golf interesting and funny.
Davidson and Vance are two of my favorite narrators and they're also the two who narrate by far the most of my listens. It can get a little weird; I find myself thinking, "A little Jack Aubrey in that voice," or "He's channeling Sgt. Harper right now." The voices all run into each other after a while.
