An Evening with George Guidall

Have you heard George Guidall? If you listen to books on tape, you probably have! He's recorded more than 900 audio books. In the Stephen King universe, Guidall picked up on the Dark Tower series after Frank Muller's accident.
.
Lackawanna Country Library is holding a "evening with George Guidall."
.
Thetimes-tribune has this interesting quote from Guidall -- regarding people's tendency to prefer a certain reader:
.
"Once they latch onto that person, they rely on that person to give them a vicarious experience they can't otherwise have," he said. "They feel like that person is talking to them."
It makes for some very interesting encounters. Once, he was at a library in West Virginia and a librarian kept pointing out to him the tapestries she had made while listening to his audio books.
.
"That's me and you doing 'Crime and Punishment.' That's me and you doing 'Frankenstein,'" she told him.
.
"People go into a library and ask for a book by George Guidall," he said. "People are writing me from all over the country. They've all experienced that book the same way, because I'm the one who told them the story. They're in a tribe all by themselves."
.
