Picked up Act III of Audible's production of The Sandman. Love the books, really enjoyed the Netflix series, and these full-cast adaptations are just stellar.

I have had a terrible time keeping Leopold and Loeb straight in both nonfiction accounts--I think of them as their Compulsion fictional counterparts. (Is that Artie? Or is that Judd?) Quote:

The “classics” have been going down well with me lately. I finished Far from the Madding Crowd as read by Jamie Parker; he’s good, while the book which I remembered only barely isn’t my favorite Hardy but certainly enjoyable. Now I’d like to see how the movie version with Julie Christie and Alan Bates holds up, but I’m cheap about such things (as in, I’m not willing to pay anything at all). Oh, well.
I decided on Women in Love as my next listen, fully confident it was on my wishlist at Hoopla as read by Nadia May. Alas, it’s been pulled for whatever reason. Casting around for a free version of the book I ended up at Librivox where it’s read by Ruth Golding and both she and the quality of the recording are very good indeed; if it weren’t for the Librivox bumpers at the beginning and end of each chapter it would pass for Audible, etc. Kind of a bummer about Hoopla, though. I operated on the assumption that what was there would always be there. |

With Roku, I can search across channels; that's what I usually start out with. YouTube requires a separate search, though. |

I find myself less and less willing to watch SD content. There's still not all that much 4K content, but at least HD looks good on a 4K TV. But SD content doesn't really look all that great. But I get it -- YMMV.

Oh, I’ll have to take a look back at your post, then, when I’m in the mood for something to watch. Occasionally I watch something on Internet Archive; there may be some overlap.

While waiting for this month's Audible credit, I grabbed a 3 book series of novellas (novellae?) from the Plus catalog by John Scalzi. From Book 1 (The Dispatcher):
