I just assume such differences come down to different count of brain cells, with mine being higher of course
Back a few years before the pandemic, the University of Plymoth did a "Big Read" of Moby Dick. Each chapter was read by a different person, including names such as Roger Allam, Tilda Swinton, and Mary Oliver. I read MD in my American Literature semester of my degree, but I did a re-listen when I blew my back out and was doing daily re-hab on the rowing machine. I have the Scott Brick version as well, but this was just different.
