- 2007, Leif Enger, Peace Like a River:
- “Sure.” “Do you think Dad prayed for that to happen?” “I don't know. He didn't shut his eyes that I noticed.” “Well, you can't shut your eyes while you're driving.” Her lecturesome tone was annoying. Before today, what miracles had she ever seen?
- 2010, J. Thomas Rimer, Van C. Gessel, The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature:
- There is no one as conceited, as lecturesome, as selfish, as mad about the theater as you. Nor is any man so talkative.
