But, yes, in all seriousness, this is silly. If you'd like to name a text that is " not suited for reading aloud", we can debate it, but just your bald assertion that It Is So? Not buying. |
It seems trivially true to me that things like punctuation, length of sentences, rythm an so on influences how well a text works when reading it aloud.
I know that for example M. John Harrison selects his texts to read at science fiction convention according to that. And he also sometimes re-writes a text bit for it to work better. At one con he actually thought that a reading he did was so bad because the text did not work to read aloud (it was a text he had never read aloud before) that he had an extra reading as compensation.
