Hi!

[ginny]

Not so much books I think (there's more than the Bond and the Woodlanders? Minor brain freeze here.) but odds and ends. Poetry, half of Nick Silver which I managed to unearth from the bottomless depths of the web. I'm failing to see why anyone would make the effort to put one half only of it online and leave poor people like me tantalizingly guessing at the other half?

The old Dr. Syn and the words and music programme with the infamous potato clock. Pity that all this wasn't yet available when I did my finals, I would have aced my oral and literature exams instead of the measly mark I got.

Did anyone ever bother to make a complete overview of Rufus's works, including all the odd things that don't fit anywhere on IMDB and Amazon?

Welcome to the Rooftop, Ginny! I for one don't mind at all if you unearth the older threads. Half the time I forget what's there, so when they're unearthed it's like experiencing them for the first time all over again, so I highly encourage you unearth as much as you want and have fun!

Most of Rufus's audio works are listed in this thread: rufussewell.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=work&action=display&thread=1957 (as it is a couple of years old, it doesn't have "Uncle Fred in the Springtime", "England, Their England" and the recent "Words and Music").

Oh, and just PM me if you're interested in the complete Nick Silver. I might be able to help you there

One of my favorites is "The History of The Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr Abraham Adams," which is available from Silksound Books. www.silksoundbooks.com/performers/rufus-sewell/the-history-of-the-adventures-of-joseph-andrews-and-his-friend-mr-abraham-adams.html I thought the book was very funny, and Rufus reads it with a great twinkle in his voice. He creates a number of memorable characters (male and female), and best of all, it's nearly 12 hours long. ;D

(Thanks to the link to the audio thread, Kate--I'd forgotten that Nell had made that helpful list.)

Kissmekate and Rueful, thanks for the links. Nifty list there!

I listened to the sample and will be downloading the book when I've got more time to supervise the antics of my computer. I always need more audiobooks, there's only so many times you can listen to the same one before you know it word for word...

I hope you will enjoy it! I love whoever invented audiobooks. For a person like me, prone to motion sickness, they are a godsend for long trips.
