My copy of the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, narrated by Stephen Fry. It is relentlessly british.

Listen to samples of books read by Stephen Fry. He’s among the best reading voices out there.

Fun story: my boyfriend and his sister used to live together and we’d all party at their place. After months of his sister crushing hard on this guy she worked with, she and him had gone to her room for some alone time. Her asshole brother decided that was the time to blast this audio directly through her bedroom door.

8 years later and they’re still dating so I guess it worked.
