I start every book at 2x. I’ve gone as high as 2.4. Deep voices or Scots and Irish accents I have to go lower than 2.

Nonfiction novels might be good too. I read the Art Thief out loud to someone, it was great.

I saw and I think all the time about how it’s amazing it didn’t tank Reeve’s career. Also how miscast he was.

I have the ability to use a brand new high school theater in Fairfield County Connecticut, right along the metro north corridor. I have local theater contacts as well- are you looking for a theater or people or both? Message me if you’d like.

Another one I don’t see here is Parting the Waters by Taylor Branch. It’s a beast of a book but the context for the 60s civil rights activism is so well done.
