Audiobooks!

I have here, sitting on my desk, an audiobook. It's a Doctor Who one, The Resurrection Casket... and it came free with the Radio Times.
...And I can't imagine that happening a few years ago, if I'm entirely honest. The Doctor Who audiobooks are insanely popular now.
In fact, audiobooks in general seem to be gaining in popularity... never mind the fact that I've yet to find an unabridged version of Wuthering Heights!

I've noticed that there's a Jane Eyre one that's popped up recently - I don't envy that woman's task, considering all of the omissions that Charlotte placed in the novel... although BrontëBlog have claimed that the Juliet Mills version "''reads' all these most naturally".
I wonder how difficult it'd be to read Agnes Grey in that manner?

F---- was a village about two miles distant from A----.
Agnes Grey, Chapter XXIV.

"Agnes, I want you to take a walk with me to ----" (he named a certain part of the coast - a bold hill on the land side, and towards the sea a steep precipice, from the summit of which a glorious view is to be had).
Agnes Grey, Chapter XXV.

If anyone can read that and make the omissions sound natural, they deserve a medal or two. Perhaps three...

Welcome to 'A Chainless Soul'!

This is my literature blog, where I shall talk about... literature.
As one might expect, really.

My favourite authors, at present, are the Brontë sisters, who I think were utterly fascinating.
I think I may have been one of them, probably Charlotte, way back when. Isn't that special?

I think The Chronicles of Narnia are fairly blatantly an allegory for Christianity.
Aslan knows all, sees all, and is Jesus/God/whatever.
And he casts out Susan, who was my favourite Pevensie. What a git.

I read the spin-off novels produced by Doctor Who, I adore Frankenstein, I think The Last Man is so curious that it merits a re-read and I also believe that Wuthering Heights is one of the best novels ever.

If you shall excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I have more novels to find.
