A someone diagnosed dyslexic, dyscalculic and dyspraxic I do read or I listen to audio books.
I think if you don't have something positive to contribute then don't! |

Ah, I hadn't realized that only positive contributions were allowed. I was simply stating something that hadn't been pointed out previously, in order to engage in the conversation.

ButchEire - I appreciate your point. I really do. My love of words isn't meant to exclude anyone. I can imagine having a partner who doesn't read because of a disability, but then I'm the girl who would read aloud to them to share my world.

I've always been seriously nearsighted and have required eyeglasses/contact lenses since I was 10. When I turned 40, I noticed that I was losing my ability to read things close up. This really put the brakes on a lot of the former enjoyment I had of reading. I tried a few pairs of those "cheater" reading glasses they sell at the drug store/WalMart (GASP)/etc., but I was always losing them or trying to hunt them down, so I ended up just not reading much.
Then came the Kindle and I got back to reading again!!! I've been reading like a fiend ever since and I really realize now how much I missed that for a few years. I can make the print as large as I want with the Kindle and I'm even planning on giving my mother a Kindle for Christmas this year, because she is having problems with her eyes now, too. She's nearly 90 years old, and has always been both a voracious reader and a published author (she's a retired Teacher with a Master's degree in Education/Learning Disabilities), and she raised both my sister and me to both be able to read and write well. The Kindle will bring the joy of reading back to her, too, so it's going to be a really special gift that I'm going to be so very pleased to give her. Oh, and for you Ladies out there.........you all should also date us boys/bois/fellows/men who read, too. We're good catches, also. ~Theo~

For every girl who reads there is a butch that dose the same,I see them in book stores and garage sales,as they shop they only have eyes for the books and are in another world.Its a world that brings many feelings that thrill and then bring sadness only to inrich life with never ending change that keeps all bookies comeing back for more. |

I agree with Theoddz and Rockingonahigh….it REALLY twists my knickers when my partner reads as well! We don’t have to read together, I can be hand embroidering, designing new projects, making clothes, etc. There’s a seductive, sensuousness about reading together, being read too, and reading too the one you’re in love with….

Finally!
I absolutely dig this! Yes, this is my type of woman for sure...why? Because I love to read, and love books that's why. Thanks for posting it pinkgeek.
Looked at Murakumi's new book today, the first paragraph alright I'll be reading all 900-something pages of it...slowly. Greco Quote:

Not sure if you already threw up another thread, but there is already one dedicated to books one has on the go. I would attach a link, but I didn't.

I love reading aloud. And telling stories.
As a parent it was my joy to entertain my kids with stories.... so I had to come up with many different voices, accents, expressions, oh and used puppets... I still tell stories at different events, even with puppets. I love to research old myths and legends to retell to adults. My story telling, I assure you, is not for children anymore!! When I read to my lovers, it is with voices and expressions. Trying to engage the imagination and the senses. I also enjoy reading together. My favorite time EVER is lying in a tent while it is raining outside. Listening to the rain, snuggling deeper into the sleeping bag, snackies and a hot cup of coffee. (in my uber large Tim Hortons Mug I might add!!)

Its funny the books you cherish.. I was 17.....in a small bookstore in Provincetown, Mass, I saw a book on a shelf. The butch on the cover was in tight jeans, a white tee a black leather jacket with slicked back hair. I opened it and my eyes fell upon the lines,.".....she could feel the wetness of Mercedes' panties against the back of her knuckles...". It was called The Swashbuckler...It was the moment I knew without a doubt I was femme.....Love that book !!!
