The Letters of Mark Twain, Complete

(5 stars)

I’m still in the middle of this book, maybe 23 chapters in. And this is one of my favorite LibriVox books out of many which I have heard over the years. Part of that is due to the fact that Mark Twain has been my favorite author since I’ve been 10 years old, and remains so 56 years later. But part of it is also, the reader, James K. White. He brings the letters to life, and not only the letters, but also the editor’s notes in-between. I like his reading so much, that I made a search for other things he has read and made a collection list for those. Also looked him up on an internet search and on IMDb. A talented voice actor. Thank you, Mr White.

One has to admire James K. White for taking on such an immense project. His speaking voice is quite good, but he just doesn't pull off the Mark Twain impersonation. He sounds much more like a black man than anything resembling what I imagine Twain sounding like. In my opinion, it would have been better to just read the letters in his own voice rather than attempt a task that is beyond his ability.

Excellent Collection!

Reading this collection was a labor of love for me, and the "brogue" I used served to honor Twain's memory, not to imitate his voice. No one can imitate Twain's voice because no one knows what he sounded like. But I suppose there will always be know-it-alls like Mr. Miller who find it a daunting task indeed to refrain from cluelessly pontificating on subjects they know nothing about.
