Thanks! I forgot there was another book in there, now I kind of remember trying a sample and not wanting to go on with it. I’m probably just mixing the two up. Good to have y’all’s input to consider next time it floats up as an option

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I listened to several books by Simon Winchester - non-fiction about geological events such as Krakatoa, the San Francisco earthquake, as well as his "The Professor and the Madman" about the beginning of the OED. He narrates several of them himself and is good at it. Recommended.
Back in the day, I listened to all the Patrick Obrien books while commuting. One reader was much better than the other and now I can't remember which.
These days I find I can't concentrate on new audiobooks, so I listen to old favorites while I embroider.

Hmm. Looking back thru my Audible library, I =think= the better narrator was Patrick Tull, but I couldn't swear to it.

Patrick Tull is ridiculously good in the Aubrey-Maturin novels! That's the way I read those books, with his narration. So good.
