BBC Radio 4 used to broadcast the Lake Woebegone parts of the show. I fell in love with Garrison Keiler's voice. I bought the first book and used to practice to get as close to his voice as a I could while reading to my wife. In a bizarre way, he reminds me of 'The Canterbury Tales', big characters and punchlines you can see coming but where you're carried along by the rhythm and by a sort of good-natured complicity between reader and writer.
