This works here...

Remove all files in your home directory named a.out or *.o that have not
been accessed for a week:

find $HOME \( -name a.out -o -name '*.o' \) -atime +7 -exec rm {} \;

Note the '*.o'...

        Subject:        [expert] Find Command

        How is it possible to force the find command to list all files with
        "read" in the filename, regardless whether they start with a period
        or not?

        I already tried the following:

           find /usr -iname ".*read*" -iname "*read*" -type f -print
