Glad to hear you mention Dick Hill. The only narration I personally have heard by him was a few Faulkner novels, but to me he WAS Faulkner, always a sign of a...
Thanks Becky, interesting list. I agree with most of your assessments, some of these I haven't heard, but when I looked them up on Audible, there wasn't...
This is such an interesting discussion! Although I'm just about to take the MP3 plunge, I'm a long time listener of books on tape. There have been a few really...
No, Linda, you are not alone! I wonder if we'll get to the point where the "author" will be less known than the "narrator"? We all have our favorite songs and...
Yes, Judy Kaye is a great narrator, and Mary whoever who does some of the unabridged Sue Grafton books is not great. I have been thinking lately that what...
I think the "human touches" are what make all the novels I read. It's the little day to day things that help me relate so well to the protagonists. I'm also a...
... that ... listening ... I personally think the "good old" narrators are usually the best. That's why they were able to stick around long enough to become...
That's what I do, but sadly there are more and more books that I really want to listen to that are so badly narrated that the field is becoming pretty narrow...
My favorite narrator continues to be Frank Muller. I'm listening again to Beach Music and he is simple wonderful. I also like Tom Schuz****** I not only can't...
Now he is a briliant reader. Frank Mullar I mean. Have just finished reading the Green Mile by Stephen King for the second time (and what a fantastic book that...

Frank Muller did a good job of The Green Mile - his voice seems to fit with that time period and reflects the person telling the story. I haven't heard his...
Very impressive Becky; you're a narrator historian. I know some of the people you mention but not all. I think I'll check your list when I'm considering...
Curious what you don't like about Nelson Runger. I'll listen to any audio book that he has narrated regardless of subject matter because he keeps me tuned in...
I love the Janet Evanovich books with Stephanie Plum. I read them all before I ever got the audible version. One character in it is a man that is very...
... Tom Stechshulte, I think. Not long ago I watched on my computer a DVD with the nine episodes of the 90s TV failure, "Profit", with him as one of the...
I listen to a lot of nonfiction and have found that the narrator has impact on whether I like the book. There are times when even these books have such poor...
... work. I like Michael Beck's readings of Grisham's stories better, too, although I didn't at first. It took a while for his voice to become identified in...
... all before I ever got the audible version. One character in it is a man that is very educated, very classy, very sexy and very masculine hispanic man. The...

Yes, Mary Peiffer is wrong for Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone, but just right for Sue Henry's Jessie Arnold! Lisette Lecat reads the #1 Ladies Detective Agency,...
... It's all about what fires you up, you know? the classics don't always do that. Heck, I've had more animated discussions with my bookstore customers about...
I'm not asking for the best narrator or the best book. But the best narration; the book where the narrator seemed just perfect. The single narration that you...
Barry, you are slipping. You actually said you like "something" about Grisham's books even if it is only the narrator. You had me believing that you would...

It's the high pitch and nasal quality of Runger's voice that annoys me. His reading and enunciation is good, but his voice is like fingernails on chalkboard...
