And very cool about your class.<BR/><BR/>Thea--yes, you are to blame for the serial killer conversation. ;) Like you, I am a fast reader so reading out loud is good for me, too. And reading to your unborn child is awesome.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104059730266081936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16369185.post-49636534355712049092008-01-21T11:16:00.000-08:002008-01-21T11:16:00.000-08:00PS - We also read to our kid already, even though ...PS - We also read to our kid already, even though the baby probably has no idea what we're doing. It's awesome.<BR/><BR/>I just love the idea that the baby will know our voices and, hopefully, some excellent passages of Scripture and literature before it's even born. So cool.Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086041454745467558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16369185.post-36707048911077068172008-01-21T11:14:00.000-08:002008-01-21T11:14:00.000-08:00I love reading out loud!

When Mitch and I were engaged, we read together A LOT, and though it's harder now to sit down and finish a book together, there are constantly snippets of things being passed back and forth as one of us reads something we know the other might find intriguing.<BR/><BR/>Because I'm a fast reader, I also find it helpful to read aloud - I'm forced to slow down and acknowledge each word without skimming ahead or reading a passage without processing it.<BR/><BR/>I suspect I was the one responsible, indirectly, for that serial killers conversation, by the way.Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086041454745467558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16369185.post-64718689048833902952008-01-20T20:29:00.000-08:002008-01-20T20:29:00.000-08:00Some friends of mine would read That Hideous Stren...Some friends of mine would read <I>That Hideous Strength</I> on the way to and from church. I always enjoyed it when they would ride with me. <BR/>Last year, I took a class where we began every class with a reading of some poetry: either some T.S. Eliot (on fridays) or Chesteron's <I>Ballad of the White Horse</I>, read by someone in the class. Good times.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279194571807281842noreply@blogger.com
