How about Mark Twain reading Orion's autobiography aloud, and commenting as 
he goes along? Paine apparently lost it at Grand Central Station, or it was

the voice would be pretty cool, indeed.

But for reading:  how about Orion's missing Autobiography??

here is what Howells said, after reading it:
*"It wrung my heart . . . the writer's soul is laid too bare: it is
shocking."* - William Dean Howells, 14 June 1880 --hb
