andrewduckerBah - should have included this in the earlier post - the reason the question came up is that I'm reading Anansi Boys at the moment - and I'm hearing it most definitely in the voice of Neil Gaiman, having heard him read a chunk of it a few months back when he did his signing tour. This is the first time I've heard a chunk of book before I've read it and it's having much the same effect as having see the Harry Potter books did on my reading experience there.
I tend to read email/IM either voicelessly or with my own voice (the two are quite similar for me), and it's actually been quite a surprise a few times to hear people's voices and realise that the voice I have for them in my head is nothing like their actual voice.

Date: 2006-05-02 09:04 am (UTC)I saw Neil shortly before Anansi Boys was released, and he read some of it to us.
He also mentioned that Lenny Henry was doing the Audio Books.
When I got to read the book, it wasn't Neil's voice, it were Lenny's I heard...
