Great voices

Thank you Isaac, I love the way you read. It is so hard to find a good audiobook nowadays, especially the classics! I just finished Fahrenheit 451, it was my first time reading it. Thanks again I highly recommend this podcast. For classic book lovers like me and suckers for Charles Dickens.

Thank you for creating this! I appreciate it!

This is so nice.

Mr. buttler ,

Splendid!

I personally love the readings and fall asleep to these wonderful stories. Not to mention the accents in certain books making the experience even better.
