I’m listening to what is probably one of the most popular Jeeves books, Wodehouse’s The Code of the Woosters.
It was next up on the Wodehouse bibliography for me. I listen to Wodehouse when at all possible and my options were the version read by Jonathan Cecil at Hoopla, available immediately, or the Simon Prebble, where I’d have been third on hold at my OD library. I’ve listened to a lot of Cecil reading Wodehouse in part because of Hoopla so I went with that happily enough, but got on the hold list for Prebble out of idle curiosity, since I’ve noted especially with audiobook holds your turn can come up much faster than anticipated. Sure enough, after a couple of days in, I got the Prebble. So I decided to give it a try, and I have to say I’m enjoying it more. Cecil is fine, but his women’s voices in particular leave much to be desired.
