  1. I'm almost finished with Harry, A History. I read bits and pieces of it when I first bought it, but I'm reading it cover to cover this time. It's an interesting read, about what it was like for fans of Harry Potter, when the series was still unfinished. It brings back so many memories.
  2. Stephen Fry is definitely one of my favourites, although I have to admit Jim Dale's voice for Mundungus Fletcher was perfect for the character. I also really like Nathanial Parker. He did a really good job with the Artemis Fowl series. His voice for Artemis was absolute perfection.

    Hi!

    Hey everyone! I'm from Adelaide, South Australia. I've always loved reading, ever since my dad taught me to read when I was 3 years old. I read books from most genres, but I read mostly fantasy and sci-fi books. My list of favourites is too long to post here, but it includes Harry Potter, The Hunger Games Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, His Dark Materials Trilogy, the Inkheart Trilogy, and several by Richard Dawkins. I tend to read several books at once, especially when I'm reading series. It's not that I get bored with them, I just like a change every now and then. I might get through 2 or 3 in the series and then switch to another series for a while. At the moment I'm reading Burning for Revenge, the 5th book in the Tomorrow series by John Marsden, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling, Guards! Guards!, book 8 in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, A Game of Thrones, book one in the Song of Fire and Ice series by George RR Martin, and several books on biology and geology for uni, and a few astronomy books just out of interest.
