Audible and Armitage: A Holiday Treat for Fans?
Wow, I am loving how he looks in this photo.

Me too, it’s a great photo. If it’s a selfie it’s much better than most of his 😉 And he looks really happy and relaxed. Wish I knew who the favourite author was!

I wonder if it’ll be free, as the love poems were.

I like his connection with Audible. He gets to do a little work wherever he is, and then there is more of his work out there to appreciate. And it is obviously good for Audible too.
And yes, I think the way he is going to look in Berlin Station, plus the excellent cast, is exciting. This could be an amazing project.

I feel the same way. really high hopes for this series. I’m just worried that finding it here in Mexico as it is airing on Epix, will be a challenge.

and that’s exactly how he looked in Leeds, no wonder i was gobsmacked and my knees knocked 😉

I think he looks much younger here than in Leeds. (Tbh, I was almost shocked when I looked at my pics of him – in person, he had looked much younger than in my pics…)

I thought he looked younger in person too sometimes photos are deceiving in their clinical representation as he also had a much younger air about him ☺and we were all knackered the next morning so daylight has been a bit unfair to him too 😅and I’m sticking to my impressions in the flesh 😉

Also in photos close ups we focus on the wrinkles but in person they are just laugh lines ☺

He does look delectable! So stoked about another audio project!! Wish he’d give some more clues about the favorite novelist aspect, though. BTW- Happy Thanksgiving, Perry!

Thanks. I really is a favorite selfie. I don’t actually think it’s a selfie.

Thursdays off? I am surprised he has the time to spend hours in a recording studio. Not complaining – looking forward to hearing it…

So far, the schedule hasn’t seemed as intense as with Hannibal.

Actually – it just occurred to me that maybe, because Berlin Station is an American production, they had a day off on Thanksgiving, but since it is otherwise an ordinary working day in Germany, he used it for other projects…

I thought of that, too. But he’d still need some time to prepare his voices.

Good point. He doesn’t just waltz in and read from a piece of paper… All very intriguing. Let’s see whether he will give us another clue, soon…

Doesn’t he look wonderful? Yet another “Richard” narration/performance to look forward to and add to my Audible library. To my way of thinking no-one does them better. I listen to his voice every night as I go to sleep. Comforting somehow, no matter how many times I listen to them.

It would not surprise me if he was reading Anton Chekhov or some other Russian author.

The field is too wide to guess, but I don’t think he has mentioned that many fvorite authors, and then one has to boil them down to whether they wrote and published short stories. admit I am not a fan of short stories – a huge generalization, as there are exceptions, but by and large, I don’t care for the genre.
LikeLike
He has mentioned the play The Cherry Orchard a few times and Chekhov has written many short stories.
If not, I hope he does The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. That short story always reminds me of The Red Dragon and Francis Dolarhyde.
LikeLike
Ok, here’s another possibility, Fyodor Dostoyevsky. He wrote Crime and Punishment and The Double.
Maybe, he can read Notes from Underground.

Oh, I love Jack London. I remember reading The Call of the Wild. It was a favorite as a child.

To Build a Fire is a wonderful short story but it only has one speaking character.

Excellent choice. I like the ending in that one.

Could it be by Tolkien?
LikeLike
I don’t know if he wrote short stories. I was also thinking of Isaac Asimov? We could through hundreds of authors wondering. One issue for me is whether the author is truly a favorite of his.
LikeLike
I believe Tolkien did. It surprised me that Tolkien’s name came up when I googled ‘novelists’, and when I looked in wikipedia, it would seem he did author a few minor works.
Would RA write ‘favourite’ if it wasn’t? But one can have many favourites if one cannot choose, I suppose.

I think we also need to consider the commercial viability. But I wonder whether this may be a freebee from Audible to lure some new customers to David Copperfield and previously released Hamlet A Novel..
LikeLike
Hmm, could be. Though it seems the message is to RA’s fans rather can to a more wider audience. Well, I’m not saying that RA’s fanbase isn’t big ;-), but we’ve just witnessed the award for Hamlet, and newcomers to the fandom would have seen it.
Don’t know about DC; it’s been a while…When is it out, I wonder.
