Ah, books. I am also married to a 'reader', although I didn't fall in love with him because of that. It's something I discovered with pleasure after we were married. I think if he hadn't been a reader we probably would not have been compatible, because the habit of reading changes the way you think. It changes the way you view words and use words. The habit of reading shapes us.
I have moved mostly from the print book, largely because of space constraints and issues with order. I did go through an audio book phase, but loose patience with the slow pace of the narration. Most book reading is done now on my iPad. I've fallen in love with that thing :) It takes me around the world and has become my new library.
I still listen to audio books, but usually only do so to help me fall asleep (I think I wrote that blog already).
When we go to sleep at night, my husband and I, we each have our iPads and our preferred book (very different reading tastes). Still readers, but adjusting to a new environment.
Edit:
I had an afterthought:
When someone narrates a book, they interpret it, through tone and pacing. I don't want that filter between me and an author. I find particularly valuable if a book is narrated by the author. That tells me something :)
I bet he had the intelligence of a reader though. If Jamie hadn't been a reader, I think I would have been able to tell, and wouldn't have found him as sexy. Wait. Yes I would have, but it would have been a one night stand purely for physical reasons. Or maybe three.
Oh man, it takes ages to get through a book that way doesn't it? And you can't skim read through the boring/obvious bits. I'm a guilty skim reader.
Us too. I'm more literature, he's more travel literature - well written stuff though, largely English, as all those old school adventurers were well educated I think and their turn of phrase is just delightful. They're hard to find now though. Mind you I loved the Ranulph Fiennes one and I do love a good shipwreck/sailing disaster story/survival story (if they're well written).
