I embarked upon the journey through David Copperfield's life on chance at our local library. Although I have not yet completed the adventure (Mr. Copperfield and Mr. Traddles are currently trading letters from the Micawber's) I am compelled to write of my enjoyment. I have taken the custom of listening to unabridged books on tape during the commute to and from my workplace. I have found great enjoyment in this, though my wife argues that listening to a novel on tape, even unabridged, does not constitute "reading" the book. I disagree, but that is not my purpose in writing. My purpose is to communicate and suggest that any reader, devout fan of David Copperfield or Charles Dickens, may take great delight in listing to this audio tale. It is lengthy, 40 hours of listening plus, but worth every minute. The tapes that I have come from Recorded Books Inc. (New York), the narration is by Patrick Tull. If there are readers interested in reacquainting themselves with Master, er, MISTER Copperfield I would highly recommend the tale in unabridged audio.

I am currenty reading the book as well though I have not ventured as far as you have as of yet. However, i am also looking to find the audio version as well. Do you have a good suggestion as to where I might be able to find the unabridged version. I want something that comes as close to the book as possible. Abridged is not worth the time because you can miss so much. Please let me know what you find out, if anything. Thanks.

I did a dopile search and came up with the site at: http://www.recordedbooks.com -- they indicate you can purchase or rent audio books from them.
As the other Joe said, try your local library first. At ours, if it isn't there, we can request an inter-library loan. If the others in the consortium don't have it, we can request the purchase or, as I have done before, we can purchase it and then donate it to the library for others to enjoy. Good luck :-)

I can recommend the version available at audible.com. The narrator uses many different voices in order to make the dialogue easy to follow.
I must disagree with Joe's wife...I truly love listening to novels.
