Audiobooks: Fiction, Poetry, & Drama
I am a believer in the beauty and utility of audiobooks. (It helps that I drive about an hour a day.) Humans spoke and told stories before they wrote. Homer sang or chanted. Your experience of a story may be enhanced or transformed by listening to a skilled artist bring to life. I cannot imagine reading Alexander McCall Smith's wonderful No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels, because the amazing Lisette Lecat, a South African actress, has given them life inside my head with her singular readings. If you love the experience of being read to, here are some of our carefully chosen titles. If you want books to be delivered in an old and an always new way, try an audiobook soon. (Success and technological parameters have driven me to divide our audiobooks into two pages. Be sure to browse our audiobook-nonfiction as well.)
Hopalong Cassidy
Hopalong Cassidy
Hopalong Cassidy could fan a gun every bit as well as Billy the Kid. Six rounds in three seconds was his slowest time, and not a soul in the grand state of Texas could beat him. Until he met Slim Travennes, head of the Sandy Creek Vigilante Committee. Slim was snake-fast. No man could go up against him and live. No man. Hoppy could stand or die. He had no other choice. None at all. Hopalong Cassidy has endured as one of the most popular and beloved of American legends ever. The hero of twenty-eight Western novels, Hoppy was known as "The epitome of gallantry and fair play." With non-stop action, the legend lives on as "Hoppy" battles crime and upholds justice with his quick-draw, clear thinking, fists of steel, and steadfast character.
