This is some true intimacy

My partner isn't really a book person, but they're a big gamer and sometimes when they play a game specifically for me to watch and it doesn't have voice acting, they'll do voices and read it for me. It really is just so fun and makes me feel so special? Like it's worth all that effort just to entertain me

Long distance relationship, started reading to my partner on the phone call before bed last night. One of the best things ever.

I've been on both sides of this and, yeah, it's pretty unexpectedly hot and/or sweet. Once had a girl recite Chaucer in the original Middle English from memory. Pretty good. Prettyyyy, pretttyyyy good.

This is the best. An ex gf and I were going on a short 2 hour road trip the day after Harry Potter 7 came out. We stayed up alternating reading chapters to each other.
The next day in the car her and our friend both read aloud from where we left off. We got stuck in traffic for an extra 2-3 hours but time flew by.
It's one of my favorite memories.

This is so freaking cute, I'm so happy for them !!
- It's honestly great, I used to have a partner that we would take turns reading chapters to each other. If we went on a road trip the person is the passenger seat would read while the other was driving. We would read many nights. Immersive worlds and characters would give us new things to talk about and get us thinking/talking about what might happen when we weren't reading. When we went to work you'd find yourself thinking/yearning to be back with them so you could experience more of the stories together. The adventures of the characters seemed to push us to want to venture out and travel more as well. Ive never went on as many trips as I did in those years. We lived and dreamed together, it was wonderful.

'"Space Raptor Butt Invasion" by Chuck Tingle, chapter one...'
- Ah, starting with one of his more vanilla novels, I see.

There's a great book called sum: forty tales from the afterlife I read recently that is great. If you're looking for suggestions.

I read to my fiance pretty much every night, we both really enjoy it. Or sometimes I will make up a story to her, like I will ask her "what do you want to hear a story about tonight" and she'll say "flying fish" or something... it's funny though it makes her fall asleep so quickly she never remembers what I was reading/talking about, but she says it's very comforting.

I read a couple of books to my wife, as well as a limited series of comics period it was wonderfully intimate! Although she tried to read to me, and I just kept falling asleep.

Interesting, I will try to read a book for my wife. She has read some classical fairytales for me before, since I didn't grow up with them. I did enjoy it, but I think a regular book would be better 🤔

We both love to read, but have such different tastes. Can't imagine this going well, unless it ends in an ironic pillow fight.
