I don't usually remember all the names, but
I enjoyed Ruth Golding doing Cleek the master detective and of course Mark Nelson.
Ray Clare has done a good job with a lot of Belloc and Chesterton titles.
Mark F. Smith also popped up a lot in what I was reading. Jules Verne, Kippling, and tons of others.

Now do you have a list of readers to avoid. I wish I had written down the name of a couple of them with accents so thick and talking so low it was about impossible to make them out.
Oh, good point! I wish, oh I wish, I had been keeping track of those. There are a few whose undulcet tones I hear and immediately toss the book. I am going to begin making notes ...
I agree with many on your list, but I would also have Cori Samuel way up near the top, myself!
(This comment NOT posted by Ms. Samuel or anyone who knows her)
I will have to look for her. She must not have read anything that I've listened to yet. Recommendations?
Don't forget the incredible John Greenman - Mark twain was never read so well.
Julie, I don't know how I missed this list earlier. Thanks for the great suggestions. Several of these names are new to me.
Don't forget Adrian Praetzellis! He's excellent with Treasure Island and Kim by Rudyard Kipling. He has a real fun accent and does a great job with varying the voices.
Glen Hallstrom (smokestackjones), does an amazing job in A Christmas Carol.
Thanks!
