What a spectacular reader Stephen Fry is. Such perfect enunciation.

Stephen Fry has a very pleasant voice. He could likely read the menu chalked on the blackboard outside my local pub and hold my attention. Thank you Stephen. I loved reading Moab is My Washpot and learned quite a bit about life.

With a nice cuppa tea on a Sunday afternoon listening to Stephen Fry is my idea of heaven. Thank you so much!

Wow, Steven... If YOU feel as though you are an underachiever, how underachieving are the rest of us? Particularly since so many of us look upon your achievements with absolute awe...

If priests sounded like Stephen Fry you might even get me to go into church on a Sunday,
I imagine his 'sermons' would be pretty memorable! π€£

Stephen is one of the few people I admire.
Donald Miller
For me it's Hitchens, Pope Francis, General Mattis, And Fry

Like P. G. Wodehouse, a good deal of Stephen Fryβs delightful appeal comes from his clever literary style. A virtuoso of the English language. Best of luck, mate π
