Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
David Foster Wallace, read by the author and various narrators. Hachette, unabridged, four CDs, 4 hrs., $29.98 ISBN 978-1-60024-737-8

A host of talented narrators and actors—including television actors John Krasinski and Christopher Meloni—deliver nuanced performances of the late Wallace's classic. But it's the author himself who steals the show: his gentle, almost dreamy voice unlocks the elaborate syntax and releases the immense feeling concealed by the comedy and labyrinthine sentences. While the various narrators ably capture the essence of the text, Wallace's renditions of such stories as “Forever Overhead” and “Death Is Not the End” are transcendent. Essential listening for Wallace fans and a fine introduction for newcomers. A Little, Brown hardcover. (Oct.)


I WANT IT.


For those of you who have not had the pleasure of listening to Meloni on audiobook, please make time to listen. He reads both fiction and nonfiction - and they're fantastic. He does voices, he speaks Italian, he is entertaining and guh, his voice.

TESTIMONIALS BY PEOPLE YOU TRUST TO KNOW THE GOOD SHIT.

colleendetroit sez, "There's nothing like lying in the dark and listening to Chris Meloni read to you. *GUH*

trillingstar sez, "Okay, listening to CM say "fuck my brains out" - ten times in a row *koff* - alone is worth the $. *guuuh*


You can find Takedown: The Fall of the Mafia Empire and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men over at Audible dot com, or on Amazon.

Then there's True Justice, by Robert K Tannenbaum, and The Attorney, by Steve Martini. I found both of them on iTunes.

On one of them, he's introduced as Christopher Melon, which makes me laugh.


He also reads a bedtime story titled The Little Half Chick.
Hoppity-kick. The end.


BTW,

LEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEeee has an audio book out too. You can listen to it here. It's a YA book called Touching Spirit Bear, by Ben Mikaelsen. More info here.
