Welcome!

Classics Read Aloud is a project of pure joy. As an avid reader in my youth, I lost touch with the practice in my early adult career-building days, and reconnected with it as our family transitioned to homeschooling. There is no downside to spending time in great literature. With a book in hand, no line is too long, no waiting room visit too taxing, no nightly routine left unrestful.

Being read to can be a particularly tranquil way to connect with the stories held between the pages. I hope Classics Read Aloud encourages you to tuck away distractions, get cozy, and be transported.

Several times a month, I’ll be publishing audio recordings of stories worth listening to—everything from short stories to fairy tales to novels of all stripes—including perennial favorites and many undiscovered gems.

To receive each new recording straight to your inbox, please subscribe for free using the button below.

In addition to the recordings, I’ll often include resources and observations in the accompanying write-up that have been inspiring me in a classically oriented way of life—things that are human, engaging, beautiful, and joyous!

I welcome your comments, story suggestions, and anecdotes at classics_ruby@proton.me.

Yours truly,
Ruby Love
