Two's company

An article here about couples reading aloud to each other.

We did try reading aloud in bed, but unlike one of the couples in the article, A Tale of Two Cities just wasn't the right book for us. It is remarkable how books can become entirely different beings when read to you by someone else. I remember reading High Fidelity, thinking how serious it was. I gave it to the Other Half, and chortled his way through the whole book. "What's so funny?" says I, perplexed. When he read it, the story went from seriously sad to blackly comedic.

I think I must try this again.
