One of the best recordings I’ve heard was Dostoyevsky’s “Notes From the Underground” especially where Gordon Mackenzie was reading. I’ve found myself re-listening to those chapters.
I’m not sure if he is reading more these days but I hope he is!

I loved listening to Daniel Deronda by George Eliot. The story is engaging and uplifting and the reading is excellent.

Elizabeth Clett’s reading of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” is exceptional. Though read solely by Clett, each character is read with distinct variations in accent and inflection, adding a sense of drama and intricacy that does justice to such a beloved and respected novel.

Rilla of Ingleside, read by Karen Savage. She made the book seem so real to me. I really like how the different people are read. Susan and Norman Douglass are awesome. :-)

I recommend Don Quijote. Readers are fluent, and you will
enjoy listening them. Thank you very much to these readers.

I loved Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. The person does a wonderful job with reading.

The reader who does Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and PRince and the Pauper by Mark Twain is John Greenman. The man is a true artist; he also does Uncle Tom’s Cabin and it is phenomenal. That is easily the best audio book I’ve ever heard.
