The secret is out you love reading aloud, and you love being read to. I knew it! And I am delighted. Last month I wrote about books that I thought would be great to read out loud. But you came up with a much better list. Let’s get to it:
It took me less than a millisecond to frame a response:
“Babbitt,” by Sinclair Lewis. Not only is this the pre-eminent novel meant to be read out loud, it is also the one most delightful to hear. It’s boisterous, not reflective at all, despite the deep meaning, and needs voice, especially the bumptious voice of a Booster.

Per Petterson’s “To Siberia”
Graywolf Press, 2008
In 2007 Per Petterson had his second publication in the United States: a short, unostentatious, and penetrating novel entitled
Out Stealing Horses. It was a surprising commercial and critical success, propelled in no small part by Thomas McGuane s feature-length review in the
New York Times Book Review that coincided with the novel s release. McGuane s review is itself a sort of masterpiece, establishing subtle continuities between Petterson s Norway and the American literary landscape. Its opening paragraph ends with a bold statement about Trond Sander, the narrator of
Out Stealing Horses: he is more like us than other Scandinavian protagonists.
