- atulatul 8y agoSomeone recommended his The Story of Philosophy and it's been sitting in my kindle wish list for some time. Anyway, just now listened to the sample (narrated by Grover Gardner). Did not know about the narrator. Gardner seems to be have read more than 500 books. (https://www.audible.com/search?searchNarrator=Grover+Gardner https://www.audible.com/search?searchNarrator=Grover+Gardner) Maybe will pick up one of The Time Machine, or biographies of Carnegie or Rockefeller if I don't pick Will Durant's book. Thanks.
- smacktoward 8y agoGrover Gardner is a terrific narrator. If you’re into grand-scale, multi-volume histories, I highly recommend his readings of Shelby Foote’s The Civil War: A Narrative and Robert Caro’s The Years of Lyndon Johnson.
