'one that's cheering' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'read a pulp novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new or novel order).
'read'+'a'+'pulp'='readapulp'
'readapulp' anagrammed gives 'APPLAUDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for applauder that I've seen is " One greatly praises".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
