The Exiles
Hilary McKay@frankcottrell_b There are so many hilarious passages in @hilary_mckay books! A few favorites: the chop-bone man scenes in Dog Friday, the “matter over mind” scene in the Exiles, and Binny being in “one of her states” in Binny for Short.

Master and Commander
Patrick O'Brian@gailcarriger He’s no longer alive, but I love Patrick Tull’s performances of the Master and Commander series by Patrick O’Brian. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith does a fabulous job with Ben Aaronovitch’s urban fantasy series (first book Midnight Riot).
