I listened to “Master and Commander” on CD recently. I’d never been able to make it through one of those books in print, but the audio book was enjoyable. I’ll be looking in the library catalog for other recordings.
Do you happen to remember who recorded it? There’s a famous guy who did a lot of recordings of the Aubrey Maturin series and I’m told he did fantastic accents and good dramatic flair. What did you think?
