I have almost reached the end of “Us“, just having started listening to CD 9 0f 9. I’ll be sad to see it go, the book I thought I wouldn’t like.
I’ll miss the sound of the British voices and the talk about Oxford and all of the deciphering of the British words into their American counterparts. Eventually, I may begin speaking with a British access, just because I love the sound of it.
Were I to move to London, I imagine I would have to be jobless, perhaps in my pensioner days, where I could sit in a park or hang around a circus in order to only listen to the sound of the accent that would eventually become an everyday sound.
I also found a site where you could rent unlimited audiobooks for $11.95 a month. I would only get through one or two, depending on the length of the book, so it’s hardly worth it to me. But you… you might benefit from it.

I was pondering…If you wanted to watch a movie that was most reflective of true ‘English’ society, complete with some strong Northern accents to get your ears around, may I suggest… Brassed Off…http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115744/Rent it if it’s available… Excellent watching, set within the Struggle of the very English Class system back in the Eighties… But still relivant today.Just a thought…Ciao Ciao

I actually meant this kind of circus…”British. an open circle, square, or plaza where several streets converge: Piccadilly Circus.”

The British readers are almost always the best. Go to your library; they’ll have all sorts of books on CD. You can rip them to your iPod if you have one. It’s very convenient.
