Couples That Stay Together, Read Together

Paul and I have been talking about work too much and felt like that whole ‘getting to know you’ thing had fizzled out a bit. Right, we’ve been together for nearly a decade…so maybe we’re expecting too much by still wanting some surprises and unexpected personality quirks to shine through..?

Maybe. But this discussion around what we have been discussing (work!) and the absence of much in the way of outside interests, prompted us to start our own little two person book club. It’s very exclusive.
The only problem is that I will literally devour a book. Whereas Paul likes to take his time and approach each chapter in small doses. Nothing wrong with that…except when I’m long done with the book and continuously asking…
“What part are you at now?”
But even though we don’t do a good job keeping pace with each other, it’s still fun to even laugh about that. Sure, we will eventually get around to discussing the book itself, but for right now I’ll wait for him to finish the last ten chapters and simply smile because I we both learned a little something new about each other.
