In most cases, reading is a superior experience to an audiobook but some audiobooks are just well performedMy picksHeart of Darkness, read by Kenneth Brannaugh. Honestly his best work. Only drawback is his censoring the word nigger. And I know audible didn't do so because Frodo uses the word in his reading of Huckleberry FinnMaggie Gyllenhaal's reading of Anna Karenina. Actually can't complain about anything, she just does a really good job as both reader and actress here, she even does a good job acting the male dialogue Thandawie Newton's reading of War and Peace. The only flaw is she does a terrible job with Napoleon. But other than that she does a 10/10 reading and actingHonor Levy reads My First Book. Just because she does a good impersonation of autism. Or maybe she actually is autistic. I think I would miss a lot of her puns if I didn't hear her read it. Obviously a bit of a meme who depends on chosen people promotion so don't take this as a recommendation of her work, I just think how she reads it suits itMichel Piccoli and several others read L'intégrale de l'œuvre poétique of Boudelaire. French is not a language which uses stress very much communicate but the readers here all nonetheless ooze emotion, pain, lust, relish, grief and intoxication, all while showing diligence with the form of the poems The Metamorphoses, read by Bahni Turpin. Her delivery is nice and balanced and soft and she manages to convey the pain of various characters well, including the agonizing sexual frustration of the numerous rapists or attempted rapists in the work.Alan Cumming, Tim Curry and others perform Dracula. As you probably already know, Dracula is an epistolary novel, so having different actors perform the parts for the different characters works very well. Especially when they're actually good actors.La Commedia Divina, read by Ivano Marescotti, available as three audiobooks. Not only read with great attention to the rhythm of the poem, but acted with gusto and passion, he brings breathless terror and spiritual bliss to Dante's journey
>>24992879Most of the ones I've listened to have been pretty good. The Infinite Jest and Confederacy of Dunces ones have been goddamn phenomenal. Same with Roadside Picnic (though the audio was kinda low quality, the dude's delivery was awesome).
