I joined Audible a few years back and although most narrators are OK, I noticed very quickly how a bad narrator could ruin an audio book. I started paying attention to who the narrator was, and Ray Porter immediately stood out as one of the best. Someone else must have noticed too, because he's narrated a surprising number of the books I've read so far.

Definitely. He is one of the narrators I will follow and listen to specifically for the performance.

Scifi plus Ray Porter? I'm in for the whole book.

Also:

- Neil Gaiman (especially stuff he's written)

- Stephen Fry (could listen to him read a phone book)

- Wil Wheaton

I love Wheaton in a few audiobooks that I've listened to him in. I didn't love Ready Player 2 but he made it more enjoyable.

I've been listening to the Aubrey / Maturin book series by Patrick O'Brian, narrated by Patrick Tull. To my untrained ear he seems to do a good job with the various UK accents of the different characters, as well as various other Europeans.
