    I love when a book really hooks me, but I would hate having someone read over my shoulder like that.

      You’ve clearly never cuddled up with someone you love and read a book together like that…

        Actually, I have cuddled with someone I love while reading, just not the same book at the same time. I don’t like anyone reading over my shoulder because it makes me feel like I have to read too quickly and I end up forgetting what I read. I am a slower reader because I have an internal narrator that reads every single word, but I read every day.

        I’ve tried. We read about the same speed, but it just isn’t something we enjoy. Sometimes II want to marinate on something. We read better on our own together.
