things I am relying on to get through the day

[mayhap]

* (still more) cough syrup
* benzocaine lozenges for my sore throat
* Excedrin for my raging fever and my sore everything else
* chamomile tea
* comfort audiobooks (Anne of Green Gables)

Two more hours, two more hours, two more hours ....

Oh yes, the voice and the skill of the reader makes such difference, especially with something in the public domain where you may have options ranging from the brilliant to the indifferent.

I wouldn't mind having that version of Jane Eyre, since you recommend it so highly! *bats eyelashes*

I listen to audiobooks or podcasts all day at work and it really makes the time fly, especially on the boring days.

Indeed - and then one must factor in one's own (occasionally irrational) personal taste. :D Who narrates your version, out of curiosity?

Here are the links! Let me know if anything doesn't work. Unfortunately, this is one of the few audiobooks I have that has a few glitches in it. It's a library copy, and so a few of the tracks toward the beginning have some scratches, though the majority is fine. The trouble is, I can't find a version of this audiobook for less than $90, which is more than I can justify paying merely to fix a few glitches. iTunes doesn't have it, and most of the time, when I find a copy online, it's the abridged version. Anyway, 99% of this is ok, but I did want to warn you. Hope you enjoy!

Oh, thank you so much! If I ever manage to turn up a cleaner copy, I'll be delighted to return the favor! Our library only has the Susan Ericksen version, which was what I had ripped, but I can try my luck with our lovely interlibrary loan department.

You're very welcome! And that would be wonderful, if you ever do find one. I really like the Susan Ericksen version too, incidentally, though this one's my favorite. :)
