great stories ruined!

I was so looking forward to listening to the stories of great authors I had previously read. However within 20 minutes and trying all of the stories I turned off in frustration. The reader was pretentious and irritating to the point of ruining great literature. no wonder young people don't listen to these wonderful works.
