I love reading aloud with someone. My ex and I used to do that. We read a couple of George MacDonald books -- "The Princess and the Goblin," "The Princess and Curdie" -- and I forget what else we read. It was wonderful.
My husband doesn't much care for it. I tried to read him "Tom Sawyer," in order to read him, "Huckleberry Finn," but after a couple of chapters, he just wouldn't keep going. It upset me a lot, but I have gotten to a point where I just don't even ask him for what I need anymore. Sad, huh?
Maybe an ad would be a good idea. Or if you like reading aloud, how about reading to the blind? Or school kids, if you like children's books? (You're in Oz, right? I would imagine they have similar programs there...)
Hope that helps.
