Agricola in your ears
#1
Wondering what to listen to whilst jogging through the Caledonian forest? Why not try Tacitus' Agricola by Librivox? I must admit to mixed feelings about Librivox, having downloaded M.R. James' ghost stories and much of Sherlock Holmes some time ago and found them of varying quality (varying between inspired and turgid, that is - so much depends upon the reader), but at least it's better than listening to the Acrobat Reader imitating Stephen Hawking. All based on a true story, as The Good Dr Coulston would say.

You know my method. It is founded upon the observance of trifles

Blogging, tweeting, and mapping Hadrian\'s Wall... because it\'s there

Very entertaining, thanks Mike!

Runs a close second, though. I was hoping for the gravitas of a Gielgud soundalike. :wink:
