Great audiobook narrations? in c/books@lemmy.ml

Yeah, the audiobooks I have tried haven't had the best narrators. Just too bland ones I guess.

Great audiobook narrations? (sopuli.xyz)
 

After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can't focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I'm thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

Been using them for years and aside from a single domain at Google (rip) I have been using them exclusively for the last couple of years. Hard to beat the prices and the support is top-notch.

And who doesn't love a cute little piggie!

Definitely! Crash is next on my to-Deck list.

Dear Firefox, please stop shoveling that awful “Pocket” app our throats on every browser upgrade… it’s really useless tbh in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

I agree with this. I have been using Pocket way before it was integrated into Firefox and tbh the extension was much better - seems like after tying it to my Firefox Sync account I have to relogin every few days to get the "Add to Pocket" button to work. The extension just remained logged in and stuff worked.

I'm intending to switch over to self-hosted Wallabag though, for privacy and efficiency reasons.

Mostly Spyro Reignited here, reliving the moments of my childhood in higher definition. Along with Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered.
