WWW Wednesday + Audiobooks We Have Loved

I gotta say, reading about Dolores Umbridge inspires a LOT of #7

WHAT have you finished reading recently? Robert Parker’s Blind Spot. Meh.

WHAT are you reading now? I’m listening to the full cast audio of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and reading Eleanor Oiliphant is Completely Fine along with Treacherous Alliance for my serious read. The latter is a history of Israeli, Iranian, and American relations.

WHAT are you reading now? I need to start Paradise Lost by Milton.

Today’s prompt from Long and Short Reviews is Audiobooks We’ve Loved, which….should be easy.

1-4: Harry Potter and the Full Cast Audio Editions. These are wonderful.

5. Fan Fiction, Brent Spiner and the cast of Star Trek TNG. Fan Fiction is a silly novel ‘inspired’ by Brent Spiner’s experiences with overzealous fans, but the audiobook version of this actually brings in his TNG castmates to voice their past selves, and it’s brilliant. Reading the book when you can hear Patrick Stewart and Martina Sirtis is a travesty.

6. “A Christmas Carol” read by Sir Patrick Stewart. He even makes Christmas bell noises.

7. Woke Up this Morning, Michael Imperioli & Steve Schrippa. An oral history of The Sopranoes. Oh!

8. The Glory of their Times, Paul Ritter. Interviews with guys who played baseball professionally in the 1920s and 1930s.

9. Cold as Hell. Roger Clark, the mocap and voice actor for Arthur Morgan in RDR2, here does the voice artisty for a cowboy who died too nasty to go to heaven but too good to go to the other place. So, he’s given a black badge and told to rid the earth of nasty nephilim like vampires. Fun dark western fantasy.

10. Anything Wil Wheaton does, but especially Redshirts, Masters of Doom, and Ready Player One.
