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 
stolen there. Don't bother checking --I checked their Lost & Found.

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
