My wife read to me when we were going to sleep. We both enjoyed it, but she’d get more energized and excited about the story as she read while I’d slowly fall asleep. Opposite effects.
She was only annoyed that she’d sometimes say “are you awake?” and I’d answer yes, so she’d keep reading. But I was absolutely asleep.
10/10 recommend couples reading to each other.
I desperately want to read to to someone every night. That’s like ugh… my dream
How does one acquire a wife? Asking for a friend of a friend
You live your life in a way that makes other people want to be a part of it. Then eventually you find someone you want in your life. Next you decide to journey together long-term and help each other with each other’s problems.
Somewhere along the way you get the government involved—this is the part I don’t really understand but whatever.
I’m not crying you’re crying
Reddit moment
🚨🚨🚨 THIS IS A CERTIFIED REDDIT MOMENT 🚨🚨🚨
The hell is that?
Overused reddit nonsense phrases.
Ah makes sense. Thanks
Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?
A friend of mine actually does read along twitch streams sometimes between the radio show listen tos and casual games he also does. Most of the non game content is old Doctor Who radio shows and books.
Do these streams typically use public domain IP? I imagine some publishers wouldn’t much like their work being read ‘for free’
People play ace attorney and that’s basically the same thing.

Can confirm - my husband and I started reading to each other years ago. It’s not all the time, maybe a couple of books a year, but always on holiday - it’s an awesome way to be together rather than each stuck into your own book world.
Would recommend!
My wife and I tried this. First book we did was Blood Meridian. We stopped.
I sleep in the couch for her. It’s romantic. Her body is able to detect murmurs in the hearts of ants trying to steal scraps from the kitchen floor. In fact she detected most earthquakes after the 70’s several hours before the most sensitive instruments. My job is to romantically lay here immobile between the time darkness falls and the the time the sun shows up again and until noon on weekends of I can help it.
It’s impossible so she’s always pissed at me for waking her up.
Are you me? You forgot to mention that she gets up to pee 5-6 times a night. Which is what often really wakes her up but she’s in too a belligerent mood to admit.
STOP BREATHING!
I’m getting better at it!
I’m really glad that’s there’s still happy people in this world that can share a little of their happiness. This was awesome! Good way to start a day. Probably the high point…
On road trips, I started telling my kids stories to make the trips more fun. They are big kids now but the tradition prevails which is now some serious work for me (I have to basically write an essay before each trip so I remember enough details to not butcher the stories) but I love it and love that they love it.
My wife, instantly falls asleep when I start the stories… it’s like a super power at this point. I am certain if I ever get in trouble with her, I can just start a story and she’ll be deep asleep in 30 seconds allowing me to escape hehehehehe
