Have any of you, as adults (or as close as some of us will ever get), had the pleasure of reading to and being read to by and for someone? I used to be part of a book club that met periodically and exclusively read our chosen books aloud. Also did this with a former girlfriend, and despite the fact that I love reading myself, miss having this.

Try it sometime. Especially with some of the satirical classics. Mark Twain is avery good aloud read.

Sometimes its just interesting to hear the voices that others give to the characters. I know when I read I have a mental picture of the character, but to hear someone elses interpretation gives you a very different perspective. Especially with deep characters like twain or dumas develops

I have and I enjoy it very much. It offers an opportunity to bring out a playful side of my personality and use my voice to 'paint a picture' of what I'm reading.

People. Thought electric lights sounded cheesy 150 years ago...and if you have ever watched a movie based on a book you have basically allowed the director to read you his story

Unless it's a silent film. Or the film is nothing like the book like Starship Troopers, or Whale's Frankenstein.....yes, I'm being difficult:tongue:
