Ah, I see. That sounds good, wish I could do that with my partner, but she doesn't like the type of books that I read. However, the books she reads are somewhat interesting to me, but I am a slow reader while she's a very fast one, so it wouldn't work for two reasons — one is that she'd have to wait for me to catch up and the other is that I get the feeling of spending time reading something that I wouldn't normally choose and the awareness of the books that I actually want to read sitting there and waiting for me. :) However, maybe if we did that with 1 or 2 books a year... I don't really have anyone to talk to about books because most people around me don't read :(

Ha, we are in a similar boat, you and I, although my wife has shown me some books (namely Blake Crouch) that I found to be very interesting and easy (not boring) reads. But she reads her stuff and I read fantasy and sci-fi, and that's fine, we read next to each other in bed, so we're "spending time" together or something like that, and she'll tell me about what she's reading.

I don't really have anyone I read new stuff with, and so that's why I'm here, to see if anyone's reading what I'm reading. The answer is ... No!
