    Super and really well narrated for Libravox. I am making a point of commenting when theres a really good narrator on these because its only fair to point out these enjoyable ones so others can listen without passing it by due to the general standard of recordings. Great story Great narrator!

      He in fact was and it was what led to a lot of his self destructive nehavior. He saw visions of different futures and alternate timeliness, He couldn't tell them from reality a lot of times. He tried to write much of it down, most of his stories are based on these visions/hallucinations.
      Our greatest futurist.

      Cats are the most popular animals in the world. It's no surprise that the videos with them attract huge numbers of viewers - this shouldn't be a cause for concern, on the contrary, I think it should be reassuring.

      I think that's a little bit unfair on Mr. Margarite- being dead 7 years does make improving rather difficult. Nevertheless, I personally find that with a baritone voice and relaxing delivery, his performance is well suited to a late evening listening, particularly where the storyline is grim. Yes, there are more energetic narrators but often I find them to be over the top and coming across as trying too hard. Regards
