Meanwhile, I've put that demon to rest for now (there are hints that it WILL be back <evil grin> ) so it's a good time. |

So, I've just started listening to Caesar -- and what a wonderful voice Michael Prichard has for these. In looking at my library, I find that I am missing only a single ebook version, The Red Box, #4 in the series, but I'm missing many more of the audio versions -- some of which appear to not exist. |

Just finished listening to the Michael Prichard narration of Some Buried Caesar. The sixth in the 47 Nero Wolfe books written by Rex Stout (there were some written after his death, but I'm not counting those.)
First, my sincere thanks to @Issybird for reminding me about these and getting me back to rereading them. What a joy it is to listen to a superb narrator reading a funny, erudite, and compelling mystery written by one of the greats. Yes, Archie and Nero are each flawed characters by today's standards with attitudes towards women that are not my own. But remember that this was written 85 years ago, in 1939, not in 2024. And not written at a 6th grade reading level, either. What a delightful prospect it is to realize that I have 24 more to read. (There are some that aren't recorded, sadly.) |
