Wildfell Hall is the New Leaf Book Club selection for this month, and while I'm very much enjoying the narrated version, I think I'm going to need to switch to reading it if I'm going to get finished by the time we start the discussion.

I finished this a couple of days ago; I think Davidson and May made a compelling listen for the novel, more entertaining than reading it.
I'm currently listening to
Culture in Nazi Germany by Michael H. Kater, narrated by David de Vries, and I'm finding it rather a slog. While I've been reading a lot about Nazi Germany this year, this is a combination of over my head and beyond my interest level. For all that, I don't mind listening to it, but my retention level is pretty low.
On the lighter side, I'm listening to
The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart of the phrase, "had I but known." The narrator, Rebecca Burns, is on the flat side, but that's far better than over-emoted or exaggerated. The book, a turn of the last century mystery, is a lot of fun. The days when being out without a hat was the next thing to nudity!
