I have all these. I have only these.
Tom Hiddleston reading “The Red Necklace,” Benedict Cumberbatch narrating “Sherlock Holmes” and “Lolita” read by Jeremy Irons. Several celebrities have lent their voices to audiobooks and it is good stuff. Who would you want to narrate an audiobook?

April 27th 1521: Ferdinand Magellan killed
On this day in 1521, the Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed in the Philippines. Born to a noble family in 1480, Magellan was orphaned at a young age and sent to become a court page in Lisbon. In his twenties, Magellan joined the explorations of the Portugese fleet in India and Africa, and took part in combat with rival naval powers. Magellan returned to Lisbon in 1512, but came into conflict with Portugese king after he was accused of illegal trading. He therefore moved to Spain in 1517 to seek support for an expedition to find the quickest route to the spice-rich Moluccas islands in Indonesia. The Spanish king, hoping to profit from the lucrative spice trade, agreed, and Magellan departed with five vessels in September 1519. As the Portugese controlled the eastern route, Magellan traveled westwards across the Atlantic Ocean, around South America, and across the Pacific. Despite facing a mutinous crew and poor weather, Magellan succesfully crossed the ocean and navigated the now-named Strait of Magellan at the southern point of South America. From there the expedition - whose supplies and crew were rapidly dwindling - sailed onto the Pacific Ocean. Magellan became the first European to cross the Pacific when his expedition reached Guam in March 1521. The expedition moved on to the Philippines, where the Europeans became involved in a war between rival chieftains. Magellan was killed in the conflict, at the Battle of Mactan, on April 27th 1521. One ship from the original five continued on to the Spice Islands, and returned to Spain in September 1522 with just 18 members of the original crew of 270. This expedition is often considered the first circumnavigation of the globe. While he did not live to see the completion of his expedition, Magellan made a vast contribution to European knowledge of the world and its oceans.
