While I expect mostly to read this, I may end up listening to one of the women at first and then switching to the man.

I of course like Nadia May but I also really enjoyed the narration of the book I listened to with Stevenson. If I go with audio I’ll be very tempted to choose Stevenson if there’s no other narrator that catches my eye. I haven’t decided yet whether I want to try the audio which will definitely get me through it faster, or the ebook which I might prefer for a classic discussion read but will be a little more of a challenge time-wise.

I didn’t read your post until after I posted the above... I do like Stevenson and don’t mind a slow narrator but a six hour difference? Oh my!
