Great to revisit Bleak House via audiobook, including Teresa Gallagher’s superb voicing of Esther Summerson’s narration, also strong narration by Sean Barrett. Our Mutual Friend may (still?) be my favorite Dickens but see for instance Colin Dexter’s tribute:

enjoyed All Systems Red--the novella so well amplified-adapted into Apple TV+'s splendid Murderbot series. Listened to the novella as I walked in our U. of Idaho arboretum, which was in a noir mood today--unlike Antonioni's Blow-Up I did not (alas?) photograph any bodies-actors-models.
