Ivanhoe

Our trips to Church take us about 30 minutes each way.  On Sunday mornings, we listen to Bill Mack's "Sunday Social" and "Classic Cowboy Corral" with Ranger Doug.  But Sunday nights are a little different. We are currently listening to Sir Walter Scott's 1818 classic tale of Medieval chilvary, Ivanhoe. We are listening to a dramatic reading by the British actor, David Warner.  The presentation is not dramatized as such, but his reading is very dramatic.  His reading makes this story even more enthralling.
Maybe after we are finished listening (and this will take several trips to and from Church), we can watch the movie with Robert Taylor and Joan Fontaine and Elizabeth Taylor and Rebecca.

  1. I love listening to audio books in the car when I am running errands about town. THE HIDING PLACE was just completed for the second time on audio. Now WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, IT ALL GOES BACK IN THE BOX by Ortberg is the current book.

  2. We listened to Joni Erickson Tada's autobiography this way (coming to and from Church). It was really life-changing. When I lived in TN, I drove from Morgan COunty to Sevier County every weekday and was able to listen to LOTS of great books on tape. Yes, audio books are wonderful.
