I've decided to start listening to the Nadia May narration of Jane Eyre and hope that the votes follow suit.

I didn't vote for it, but I plan to read David Gerrold's The Man Who Folded Himself. It's $9.99 at Amazon, though, and not available in my local library, so it may be a while.

There's always the travel to Taiwan and use the 40% off voucher code at Kobo for getting it cheaper.

One of the problems with Jane Eyre is that it's too large. I don't have time to read it. So please don't vote for it. Help me out with a shorter book.
The man Who Folded Himself is the perfect size book. |

Looking on Amazon, the paperbacks of She and The Man Who Folded Himself are both 144 pages, so a vote for She would also help Jon out.

For those wanting to vote for something shorter, also available free or very cheaply, and with excellent audio versions, I suggest Whose Body, which is within reaching distance of Jane Eyre in the voting. Last edited by CRussel; 08-28-2017 at 02:09 PM. |

The current Audible end-of-summer sale has the Thandie Newton narration of Jane Eyre on sale for $4.95 to members; however, anyone can get the Kindle edition for 99¢ and the audiobook for $1.99. But the sale drew my attention to what seems a very spiffy version, with a rating of 4.8 stars from over 2,600 reviews. Well worth $2.98 in toto with the added advantage of being able to Whispersync.
