But part of my point was that this is a great way to try to find more common ground. Tim is trying Terry Pratchett. And he's recently getting into "Left Behind" which I probably wouldn't look at otherwise. But I decided I should give it a try and read it out loud to him. <br/><br/>It's about broadening one's horizons. About remembering that there are lots of kinds of books out there. Maybe after a book each you will find that you still don't have any literary common ground, but my guess is there are at least a few books out there that you can both enjoy.

It’s about broadening one’s horizons. About remembering that there are lots of kinds of books out there. Maybe after a book each you will find that you still don’t have any literary common ground, but my guess is there are at least a few books out there that you can both enjoy.

I am also a subscriber so give me an extra entry for that, will ya please? I love the fact that you and Tim can share a special "reading time" together. I do not think it would be something my boyfriend would be interested in though. I myself have "goaled(?)" to read more this year so the GC would be a great treat for me.
