The most recent comments, from Angie, Sheila, and Dan, make me want to share my own experience.
For years I read to my husband in bed, and although finding the right kind of book was not always easy, it was a little ritual that we both enjoyed a great deal. One night we settled down, looking forward to tennis in the morning; he cued me for my part in a funny play I was in, and then I read to him from *The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place, *which made us both laugh. He went to sleep smiling--and never woke up again. I shall always be thankful for the happy moments that reading aloud brought us, and to E.L. Konigsburg for writing that book.
