I am REALLY enjoying the Audible.com recording for H.G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau. The reader, Alan Munro, is very good, and Wells' vivid, very visual style of writing lends itself to a good listening experience. There is also a recording of the book at LibriVox!
I've just stumbled upon your blog, and I am enrolled in the coursera class too. Thank you for that recording, it will enliven my reading for the class!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexander! I really enjoyed listening to the book... I'll be scrambling to keep up with the class once my own classes start in August, so I tried to do some of the reading in advance. The best recording of all that I listened to was Ray Bradbury himself reading the Martian Chronicles with his commentary on the stories. It was super!
