The weekend the last Harry Potter book came out, my wife and I visited another couple, got the book at midnight, and did this all weekend. When we got tired of reading aloud, we read silently (yes, we bought 4 copies) for a few chapters, then met together to talk about it before reading another few chapters aloud. Unfortunately we ran out of time before we had to head home, but I finished reading it to my wife in the car on the way.xhonzi said:
We take turns reading aloud. Most of the time it's just on long drives (like finishing Mocking Jay) but depending on how well we're enjoying a book, we might actually spend valuable movie/TV time reading it aloud. That's usually reserved for special books like Harry Potter or the last 20-30 pages of a good one.
It works quite well for us, but most couples respond that they've never tried it and/or that they can't imagine it working. It's nice, because we're always "at the same spot" in the book and can talk about it while we read it. Sort of like a book club, but where people actually read the book, we don't get sloshed, and there is very little neighbourhood gossip.
