This is true, but sadly not the case in my marriage. I think I can count on one hand the number of books that both my wife and I have read. Off the top of my head: The World Without Us, Cormac McCarthy's The Road and The Hunger Games.

I don't know of anyone who reads like me - quantity, breadth or particular books [except maybe sc....] My ex and I used to read in bed (different books) which I thought was a mixture or sweet and strange - plus it was probably a way of saying that she didn't want sex without hurting my feelings.... [lol]

It is scary the number of people who don't read much if at all. I've even known people who are *proud* of the fact that they haven't read a book since High School! They must have a really superficial understanding of the world if all they see is what's on TV or in newspapers.

This is bliss. I also love the picture.
