I meant voice literally - in much the same way that I now tend to hear Ian McKellen's voice saying Gandalf's dialog when I read LOTR.
It would be fun to recognize some minor bits of "real life" behind the fictional stories!

 Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Do you hear the author's voice in your head when you read their books?
