Interesting observation this weekend: I read "Mrs. Fry's Diary" -- a tongue planted firmly in cheek expose of Stephen Fry's alleged marriage. It wasn't funny unless I "heard" Fry delivering the lines as if in a monologue -- putting in the wry emphasis on words, the pause before the punch line, the rising inflection of disbelief, etc. I literally had to create the audio book version in my head to find the humor.
