Do you ever read out loud, /lit/?

That;s how I read most of Finnegans Wake

I've noticed that when I read out loud I tend to focus more on a pronunciation than the actual meaning of a text

That was a hockey riot in Vancouver.

me too
it's nice sometimes with fancy prose but i lose the meaning and it's generally not worth the sacrifice

Riots about sports strike me as one of the funniest things. I do not know why.

Only when I read to someone else
Would be strange if I read out loud to myself

>>8821488
Only when reading for the benefit of someone else. Can't think of any reason I would read aloud to myself.

>>8821488
Yes, to your mother.

>>8821488
Yep.

If I really want to retain the material I tend to read aloud. Or read portions aloud, at least.

I do this sometimes unconsciously, usually repeating profound phrases or sentences with confusing syntactical structures. It offers no real benefit, a year of solitary confinement level loneliness has given me an appreciation for the sound of my own voice. Sometimes I offer myself banal insights aloud, too.

Canadians always try and act so high and mighty above Americans, but they always forget that they literally riot over sports

Yes, I read poetry out loud.

As mentioned, when the writing is especially beautiful I'll start reading aloud. Sometimes I'll read out an entire Shakespeare play by myself. I remember I took turns reading Paradise Lost with my then-gf in college.

When I read verse, or when I finish a paragraph of Latin.
