Catherine Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've done a few minutes research on Amazon and my 2 local libraries. I'm hoping to obtain, probably by purchasing, an audiobook of unabridged reading of Plutarch's Greek and Roman Lives. Can anyone recommend a good version? Or better even, a version to avoid? I know, I should try Audible. Maybe this will be the occasion for me to finally spring for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Have you looked at Librivox? Plutarch is in the public domain, so chances are somebody has volunteered to record it. Librivox is free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I had forgotten Librivox. I find the disclaimers at the beginning of each section annoying...but that is minor. Thank you! Will check Librivox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyGirl Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm pretty sure there are a few options on Audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 There is one on audible but the chapters did not line up with the book we were using n(we like to read and listen simultaneously). One very kind reviewer wrote down in his/her review whose life was in each audible chapter. Great info to have in case you are not reading cover-to-cover.

ealp2009 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I had forgotten Librivox. I find the disclaimers at the beginning of each section annoying...but that is minor. Thank you! Will check Librivox. I always skip forward 15 seconds when I have them on. Still annoying but that skips most of it.

Catherine Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Update: there is a Librivox app! It allows both listening over the internet and downloading (which I would need in order to listen during a long flight, right?). I am experimenting with it right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
