I hate to admit it, but I think I like Guidall better than Muller.

I love Guidall and Muller for different things, but Muller a little more over all. For me Guidall is better with Roland's voice, but had trouble with women's voices at first but got better. While Muller does a better Eddie and Susannah, and Jake. But I feel he over-dramatizes things at times and can sound a bit hissy. I REALLY, REALLY wish King would read the whole series, including LSOE.

What kind of things do you search for Daggers?

Thanks for the link though.
I looked you up on the Internet.

I think Guidall makes everyone sound like an old person. Works for Roland and others, but not for say...Jake.
I'm actually considering listening to anything Frank Muller read even if it isn't King. Found another book read by him one time and it was great. He probably only did the good ones.

I'm listening to Wolves of Calla now, and I'm really missing Frank Muller. How come they didn't have him complete the series? I thought he did a wonderful job, and I absolutely love his voice for Roland.
I'm having a hard time with Guidall. All of his voices sound very similar, and I agree Matt everyone sounds old.
Muller was in a very serious motorcycle accident a number of years ago and has been unable to work at all. The loss of a truely great artist!

That's so sad. So that's part of the inspiration for the Haven Foundation. I never knew.
He really was a great artist.
I was looking to see if you had a thread on the audio books!! We heard what sounded like traffic when we listened to the first DT audios, too. Haven't read the whole thread, but, SK also read Rose Madder with Blair Brown.
There is traffic and there is also a pin-fed printer printing in the background too.
my two all time fav's read by sk are lt's theory of pets and bag of bones. the man can read!!!!!!!
the discussion on his reading of books i-iii of tdt was interesting. i've never heard them and i'm now going to have to scour ebay searching for a copy. i have almost all of his books that have been done as audio (except a few where i wasn't sure i'd like the readers). i've never seen rose madder (one of my favorite non dt books) so i'm going to scour ebay for that as well. say thankya for the info. i have blood and smoke in two versions - i bought them on casette b/c i thought the whole "pack of cigs" packaging was cool.
also, i have a groovy little machine (okay, not so little) that copies casettes to cd. if you've got the postage to get the casettes to me, i've got the time. just pm me.
As posted on SKBB:
We have received word that Frank Muller passed away yesterday. He will be missed by many.
RIP, Frank, and condolences to his family.
Thanks Bev, I made a thread for it in the news forum.
This is a real drag.

King-read audiobooks
Is there a list someplace that has all the audiobooks that are read by Stephen King? I really like the man's voice, but can't stand actually listening to audiobooks. I think getting some that are read by himself will be good.
P.S.: Well, that's not true. I did enjoy Blood and Smoke but I guess that was because they were brand-new stories (it was said they'd never be printed).
I sent you a PM and merged your thread here.
We have started to compile a list here, starting with post #211.
Was that project of converting the King-read DT1-3 cassettes to MP3 ever finalized? I would love to get those if possible.
PM funky dredd with your request.
Speaking of audio books:
Actor-turned-author Ron McLarty reads from his new novel, "Art in America," today at Barnes & Noble in Tribeca. McLarty is the author of "Memory of Running," an audiobook which launched his career when acclaimed author Stephen King reviewed it as "the best book you can't read." In this book, McLarty writes about a down-and-out writer who eventually finds love. 7 p.m.; free admission. 97 Warren St. (212) 587-5389.
That book is out in print now. It's really good.

Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
ooooooooooh. i'll share mine with you if you'd like. some are on cd and some are on cassette but if you send me blank cds i'll dub the cassettes for you. would you like me to mail you something? i'll give you a list of what i have.
