Ruas also produced The Reading Experiment, a year-long series of readings from Marguerite Young's novel ''Miss MacIntosh, My Darling''. The programs were scored by Rob Wynne with a collage of music and concrete sound effects. The readers came from a wide variety of artistic backgrounds and included Anaïs Nin, Marian Seldes, Novella Nelson, Leo Lerman, Owen Dodson, Wyatt Cooper, Anne Fremantle, and Ruth Ford, among others.
