He's actually a great narrator. I have listened to a few other of his performances.

I have a couple Audible credits kicking around, and it looks like a load of free time coming in August.

I'm reading Moby Dick this summer. Enjoying it a lot. I was unprepared for how funny it is. I laugh out loud a lot. The language is also spectacularly beautiful. No one writes like that anymore. Lyrical prose at it's best.

I love that novel. You might want to get a guide to explain all the religious allegory.

Started reading Crime and Punishment last night, ~100 pages in, enjoying it.
Recently finished Gwynne Dyer's "War" (superb) and reading/skimming most of Don Quijote (apparently the first novel, shockingly funny)
