Je vois que vous êtes du Canada mais j'étais bien incapable de dire d'où vous étiez en vous écoutant, votre accent est clair, je pourrais le qualifier d'assez "international".

I really don't think you should be reading books in English because of your accent and unusual pronunciation of many common words. It was actually you that drove me to give up on listening to "Monte Cristo" and just read the rest as a book. Now I'm listening to "Karamazov", and just realized you are reading the last part of the book. I tried listening to it, but I just can't. It drives me nuts. You're reading like the the last 3 hours of the book, and I feel like you've basically ruined it for me as an audiobook. Please stop reading audiobooks in English.

I am a fan of David's recordings myself (D.E. Wittkower's are also great) and have been trying to match their reading. Unfortunately it's very hard to fight my natural tendency to speak fast (and mumble a bit). <br /><br />Thank you very much for taking the time to write. I'll definitely work harder on enunciation and pace. <br /><br />Jc :)Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075132934894632740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38907710.post-4633669951152211502011-05-22T02:13:44.832-04:002011-05-22T02:13:44.832-04:00hi JC,

After all, the purpose of reading non-fiction is to acquire the knowledge in the books - rather than only hearing the facts, as in a fiction - which would not be achieved by a fast-paced reading, which is the equivalent of 'quick browsing'. Maximum benefit would not be gained by that...<br /><br />I know, if the above suggestion of slow paced reading is followed, the size of files would increase a great deal. However, to fully achieve/not to defeat the purpose, I think it would be worth it. At least for important works anyway.<br /><br />Thanks again!!<br /><br />JLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38907710.post-19454236790738913162011-03-30T10:21:17.330-04:002011-03-30T10:21:17.330-04:00Merci beaucoup pour les beaux mots!Merci beaucoup pour les beaux mots!Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075132934894632740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38907710.post-82088215569939879002011-03-30T06:36:44.766-04:002011-03-30T06:36:44.766-04:00MERCI , beaucoup belle lecture , j'ai votre li...MERCI , beaucoup belle lecture , j'ai votre liste de lecture que vous a faite , peu de romans en francais bien que vous avez choisit des texte tres longs , je suis tres admirative ,merci encoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38907710.post-73248174393613322842010-11-04T12:06:15.045-04:002010-11-04T12:06:15.045-04:00Hi Sam!!
