Favorite LibriVox Readers
Friday, 7 August, 2020
I recently realized that an old post listing my favorite LibriVox readers has mysteriously disappeared. Meaning, of course, that I must have inadvertently deleted it. However, I can rebuild! My Favorite Readers With my particular favorites of the books they've read — though this may tell you more about the sorts of books I read than about their talent. I do want to mention also that I've seen people complain about collaborative readings. It is true that you get varying quality throughout a book that way, but I don't mind generally. Hey, it is a free audiobook! And I've found some very good readers that way. David Barnes - The Canterville Ghost, The Club of Queer Trades, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. David Clarke - Count of Monte Cristo Rowdy Delany - The White Moll Lee Elliott - The Angel of Terror, Greener Than You Think Ruth Golding - Cleek of Scotland Yard series, A House to Let by Dickens et al., The Magic City, and The Magic World. Tadhg Hynes - His David Copperfield and Oliver Twist readings helped me keep my sanity during a very difficult couple of weeks. Elizabeth Klett - Carmilla, The Machine Stops Dawn Larsen - Parnassus on Wheels Gregg Margarite - he read lots of stories that went into SF story collections so no one thing stands out to me over the others. Andy Minter - The Prisoner of Zenda, The Princess and the Goblin Mark Nelson - oh so many, especially The Green Odyssey, Lone Star Planet, Crime and Punishment, Talents Incorporated Mil Nicholson - she only does Dickens and they are all good. Maire Rhode - The Adventures of Jimmie Dale Karen Savage - The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Secret Garden, The Story of the Treasure Seekers J.M. Smallheer - The Green Jacket, The Fortieth Door, The House of a Thousand Candles Mark Smith - Ben Hur, Treasure Island Peter Yearsley - Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, Grim Tales A couple of other resources for favorite readers may be found here: Other British Readers on LibriVox. Written by Ruth Golding, herself one of my favorite readers, it is chock-full of good recommendations. Recommended LibriVox Recordings Part I and Part II - from Worthwhile Books.
