For the forty-minute drive to and from work, I am not alone. Colorful characters fill the time, making it sometimes difficult to leave the car when the destination is reached. Elizabeth Bennet admits that she "could easily forgive his pride if he had not mortified mine"; Mr Micawber outlines Uriah Heep's crimes; Anne arrives at Green Gables, full of hope; the Scarlet Pimpernel escapes, yet again; Mary enters the secret garden; Anne sells Mr Harrison's cow; Sara Crewe is removed from Miss Michin's grasp, and fairy tales delight--and sometimes horrify. All this is thanks to LibriVox, a free audiobook site filled with classics, poems and more.
Some of the readers are magical, like Ty Hynes and Karen Savage. Ty Hynes made David Copperfield live and breathe--mesmerizing from the preface to the very last chapter. Karen Savage gave the best reading of Pride and Prejudice I have ever heard, bringing my favorite book to life. Both readers made me eager to listen to the other works they've recorded. Thanks to them and other readers on LibriVox, travel will never be dull nor my mind idle.
