Actually, read aloud to anyone, anytime!

I’m working on a piece about this, but I really really believe it’s a marvelous habit to get into. I read to my mom a couple nights a week (we’re 3000 miles away from each other, but love the same sorts of books). I read to my roommates a couple times a month, because it’s a cozy and lovely thing to do. We read aloud at parties and dinners, and sometimes we even have specific read-aloud parties. And I am overjoyed to be asked by any of my friends’ kids to read aloud while I’m visiting!
