I have just purchased, via iTunes, an audiobook of Middlemarch being read by Sutekh (from a storyline in Doctor Who--in case you hadn't all confirmed my great nerdiness by now), better known as Gabriel Woolf, for roughly $2. The recording quality isn't excellent, but it's less than half what I paid for lunch today, and I need to burn through this book faster, because once again I find that I'm having a hard time oncentrating on it. The entire recording time is about 31 hours. I figure I can get through that fairly well, given that I spent about that this weekend drawing maps for a project in another class.
So if you're like me and comprehend more when listening while you read and have two bucks to spare (which is a STEAL for audiobooks!), I highly recommend checking it out.

Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI think you can actually try librivox. It's free but you need to listen to a 10-20 second intro of librivox for each recording and the reader is not constant.
Just a thought

I tried to find the $2 recording of Middlemarch on itunes, but I couldn't. The Gabriel Woolf recording is $9.95 and the Kate Reading recording is $18.95. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was a sale or something? I'm quite enjoying the Woolf recording, but I tried out the LibriVox recordings and they should work well enough, and have the added ease of being broken into chapters.
