I don't think that Bill Bryson is all that bad. There is a certain style of book where having the author read it works. Simon Winchester is another author who narrates his own books. I really like him reading his own books. Both Bryson and Winchester write books where it's basically the author having a conversation with the reader.

An interesting article. I agree with what one of the voice actors said in the article, audiobook narration really is a unique skill and talent set.
