I recently finished Cold Comfort Farm, which is a parody of a certain genre of "rural" novels which emerged in the 1930s. It's hilarious, and I recommend you read it, but I'm writing this entry because the book is full of direct address and thus very amenable to being read aloud. So I did. Here is the first part, the foreword, in which the author praises a fictional fellow author for his "grave and lucid prose" and humbly presents her own work for his consideration. Cold Comfort Farm 1.mp3, about 5 minutes long.
