I checked the dictionary and recite implies you've memorized the novel or work, and narrated implied you're telling a story instead of reading out loud. Is there a true synonym of "reading out loud" as in "he read out his novel out loud while holding the novel with his palms"?

I'm not aware of any single word that isn't context-specific but, like Ronald Sole in his comment, I would be more likely to use "aloud" instead of "out loud" (both are acceptable).
