I finally finished Trollope's fourth Barsetshire novel, Framley Parsonage, which I'm glad to say was much better than its predecessor, Dr. Thorne. While I prefer Timothy West for Trollope, this was narrated by Simon Vance; I suspect I had this because of WhisperSync pricing. Nothing wrong with Vance.
One reason I was slow with this was that I got in a listen to Madeline Miller's Circe, narrated by Perdita Weeks, in the middle of this. Most entertaining, although a few mispronunciations by Weeks irritated.
In my long-term quest to read (or listen to) all of P.G. Wodehouse in more-or-less order, I've started the first Jeeves novel, Thank You, Jeeves, read by Jonathan Cecil. I've got a lot of different voices in my head, what with narrations by Davidson, Vance and Cecil in addition to Fry and Laurie, but they're all good. The only Wodehouse narrator I abandoned was B.J. Harrison.
By the way, if you think a mention of the first Jeeves novel means I haven't got very far along, I'll note that it's number 51 on my Wodehouse checklist!
