Audio Recording of the Illuminati Trilogy....

[Apikoros II]

So, I am listening to it on Audio for the the first time now. Has anyone else did this? I searched the boards before I posted in case it had been brought up before.. anyways, I am enjoying it but some things that I find weird...

1. First, the readers are English, so naturally there pronunciation is different then the way I read it in my head. But do people really say CHI-cago as opposed to Sh-cago? Hagbard CHE-line non Cee-line?

2. The recording isn't the best and sometimes you can hear breathing and snorting in the background

3. The narrator really emphasizes the word PENIS, like much more then needed

Other then that, I am enjoying it... Thoughts?

You can never emphasize PENIS enough my friend.

I'm from Chicago - the 'chicagoan' way to say it is "tchi-KA-go".

I've listened to an audiobook of the trilogy and the narrator changes after the first book to someone with less of a British accent. I was surprised by the pronunciation of Celine, too, and use that pronunciation myself now.

I've always heard it in my head as Sell-EEN. But, since he's Italian, it should probably be Chell-ee-nay. Though I could see a humorous British pronunciation sounding like Sea Lion.

How does this one do it?

Chell-ee-nay, which is how RAW pronounced it too (according to a mutual friend involved in the production of the audio).
