A crossover meme? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within this community?

Is this brain that struggles to get through a graphic novel in a week, the same brain that was devouring whole-ass novels daily in my college years? I think so, but oh man it's not doing so hot anymore. If only I had the dedication of Jucika, to be engaged for more than five minutes.

Not if you're someone who came stand having someone hover over you and read over your shoulder. I'd close the book until my partner left, or offer to read it aloud if I was feeling generous.

I love when a book really hooks me, but I would hate having someone read over my shoulder like that.

You've clearly never cuddled up with someone you love and read a book together like that...

Actually, I have cuddled with someone I love while reading, just not the same book at the same time. I don’t like anyone reading over my shoulder because it makes me feel like I have to read too quickly and I end up forgetting what I read. I am a slower reader because I have an internal narrator that reads every single word, but I read every day.
