A public reading of The Mueller Report is being hosted by Book and Puppet Co. in Easton, Pa. The Morning Call reported that "a small group gathered Saturday in Easton to take turns reading aloud from the year's most anticipated work of nonfiction.... The Mueller Report drew gasps and wry laughter worthy of any plot twist or double cross in Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. Over the next week, the group, led by journalist Melba Tolliver, will read all 448 pages of the tome--at least the parts that aren't redacted."
"I wanted to read it," said Tolliver, who organized the project called Out Loud: The Mueller Report. "I figured it would be a lot more successful if I could read it with other people."
Book & Puppet Co. owner Andy Laties said he opens his store as a public forum with open mic sessions and compared The Mueller Report reading with public readings of James Joyce's Ulysses around the world on Bloomsday each June 16. He also described Mueller's epic as a great read: "It's exciting and full of drama, and aside of political opinion you might have, it is very entertaining."
