Just finished John Irving's The Cider House Rules. Another fantastic listen. Great novel with Grover Gardner narrating.

The complete works of Sherlock Homes narrated by Stephen Fry. Perfection.

I’m listening to two audiobooks: The Three Clerks by Anthony Trollope read by Nigel Paterson and Sharpe’s Command by Bernard Cornwell read by Rupert Farley.
The Trollope so far is one of his better stand-alone novels, a welcome relief after the last two I read which were stinkers and Paterson does an excellent job with the voices.. The Sharpe is rather Sharpe-lite but he’s still back on form, also a welcome relief after two clunkers. Farley isn’t entirely successful at delineating separate voices and his women sound like men, but he’s still fine. I miss Frederick Davidson, but there’s no denying that his Patrick Harper sounded like the Lucky Charms leprechaun. This is my 27th Trollope and my 23rd Sharpe. Nothing like sticking to one’s comfort zone! |

I'll pass on the Trollope, I fear. But it's past time I returned to Sharpe.
