Anthony Hopkins.
If he narrated books, I would cream myself.

Jim Dale.

>> No.735923

Come to think of it, why hasn't Anthony Hopkins narrated any audiobooks? I know I don't have much basis for this, but doesn't he seem like the kind of guy who would have opinions about books? It's hard to believe nobody's ever approached him about this.

Dylan Thomas readings really disappointed me. Bukowski's did as well. They actually detracted from the value of their poems when they read them.

Shatner. His audiobooks are worth it just because he narrates them himself.

I'd listen to Twilight if Walken narrated it
