Have you listened to anything put out by the BBC? How did you find those accents? For fiction are any of these available and in not-annoying accents? https://w

Nice. Big fan of Andrew Scott, so I'll try this reading for a while. Thank you. It just occurred to me that my hangup might be fiction vs non-fiction. Fictional readings might bug me in the same way the cartoons of Garfield and Dilbert bug me; their voices don't align with my imagination. I've powered thru a handful of biographies (eg Robert Caro's The Power Broker) and got a lot out of them. I only cringed when someone affects a different voice for written quotes. Whereas each time I tried a Mark Twain audio book, I wanted to kick a puppy. I used to read a lot to my kid (and other relations). But I really didn't like those books on tape. (Maybe because no one ever read to me, sniff.) Thanks again. I love this (being uncomfortable). Now I'm gonna push myself to finish some fiction audiobooks. See if I can get into the proper frame of mind.
