Stephen Fry reads Harry Potter

Unless you're as rich as J K Rowling you probably can't afford to hire Stephen Fry to read Harry Potter to you. I know, I'm sad too.  Lucky for us JK's already hired Stephen to do that and for a pitance you can enjoy him on cd. I had been waiting for the British Audio Book of the 7th book in the series to get cheaper. I have the other audio books which I picked up at Amazon UK for about half price. I kept checking there and either I was broke when they were on sale or they weren't on sale when I had the money. The 7th book has 20 discs and it's typically about 75 Brit pounds which is about $115. Add some postage and you know that says expensive. A couple of saturdays ago I was at the Half Price Bookstore to get another of their calendars. HPB puts one out each year before Christmas and they have 5 15% off your entire purchase coupons in them. They give them out free if you spend 30 bucks on stuff there or you can pay $3 for one. I like the coupons and try to get 2 or 3 calendars. Usually they run out of calendars before the holidays are over. They had some left over and Sperhauk emailed me to tell me they were giving out one with any purchase. I buzzed on over and while on the look out for something to use the 15% coupon I already had in my wallet on I stumbled on a copy of the very thing I wasn't looking for. What it was doing in a store in St Paul I can't imagine but I grabbed it and with that coupon it was only $45. I've been listening to it off and on for the last week and it's been great. I much prefer Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter over Jim Dale who appears on the US versions. Normally I'm not too keen on audio books but I've really enjoyed the Harry Potter books the couple of time I have gone through them.
