I know I really shouldn't let that keep me from listening, but I'm so picky when it comes to narrators and my mind wanders a lot while reading. I have heard that Jeremy Northam narrates audio books, and since I could listen to him read the dictionary, I'll have to check those out, LOL!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-26061545570669251792013-02-03T16:46:07.762-05:002013-02-03T16:46:07.762-05:00This sounds like a really great read!
