Quote from: james03 on September 11, 2024, 03:17:14 PMNon fiction:

Hard to pick.  Hillaire Belloc, Warren Carroll for Church history, Josef Pieper for Philosophy.  St. Augustine, though he is very deep and it is a slog.  Very profitable.
Some day Warren Carroll's books will be available as ebooks. I can dream, right?

I have the Confessions as an audiobook (read by a Scot. Yum.), but haven't finished it yet. I usually listen before I fall asleep, and it doesn't lend itself to bedtime reading.

This is one of my favorite readers on librivox....sadly only has the one title but the accent..  ;D

For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

My favorites are Tadhg Hynes and David Clarke. Tadhg Hynes actually went professional and has a lot of works available on audible.

Did you know Sean Astin did an audio book of the Bible?
"O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting to Thy people victory over all their enemies, and by the power of Thy Cross preserving Thy commonwealth."

"Through the prayers of the Theotokos O Savior save us"

Nice! All we need is Charlton Heston reading the Old Testament.  He could read Exodus particularly well
