If he doesn't read for us, maybe others will provide him with audios?I'm listening to the excellent LibriVox audiobook of William Dean Howells' Indian Summer. https://librivox.org/indian-summer-version-2-by-william-dean-howells/ I've never understood why he is so little noticed these days. He can say in a single six-word sentence what takes Henry James a convoluted paragraph to say less well.
I'll add that although I've been a huge fan since I was a young whippersnapper, if it had not been for my shelf of (physical, old fashioned, hardbound) Howells novels, I would not have survived 3 months w/o electricity or internet or running water after Hurricanes Irma & Maria.
Finally--and then I'll get down off my W.D. Howells soapbox: I notice that even the indispensable @librivox has comparatively few of his novels. I may need to start reading for them, now I'm retired.

Are 12 "comparatively few"? Maybe he wrote 200 of them.
