I don't really understand how reading from a book out loud could possible be helpful. Sure, I guess it strenghtens your vocal muscles and such like, but I mean, it isn't my vocal structure or anything like that that is not functioning properly, it's (well atleast it seems like that for me) more due to unacceptance and overall anxiety. The thing is, I don't necessarily want a stutterfree life, well of course it would be pretty awsome but I guess it's rather far fetched, so what I really crave is an indifference towards this impediment. I'd like to speak whenever I want to, no matter how much I will stutter; the dream basically is to stutter freely, if that makes any sense. With that said one need not to exclude the other -- from my experience an overall careless attitude towards stuttering makes it drastically decrease. In other words I'd like to live a bit more relaxed without this crippling anxiety (I know, don't we all wish that?) So you're into something on the acceptance there. In my opinion that is the best way to cooperate with this weird phenomenon.
