One of the best readers on LibriVox

(4 Sterne)

Barbara Baker’s delivery is flawless and the recording quality is excellent. She even reads Latin beautifully! This book is a challenging listen because of the footnotes. It takes extra mental gymnastics to follow along with the narration as the author continuously interrupts himself with asides. Set the sleep timer.
