This Is Why Some Books Should Not Be Read Out Loud…

Over 18s only!
I’ve read this Lora Leigh book, and I quite liked it, if I recall correctly, but hearing it read out loud (by a bunch of students no less), is just….wrong. *g* How uncomfortable do you feel just listening to it? Hehe…
On the bright side though, look how many extra books she’ll sell!!

OMG!! Go Asian Guy in the green shirt!!
In an effort to get dragonspeaking working last week I tried to train it using one of my own ms, I pretty much ended up the same way, and I still haven’t managed to train that damn thing. I think I might need to find a diatribe on gnats or something…

That was hilarious. Yeah, it made me uncomfortable listening to them. But, oh, that Asian guy in the green shirt – he could read erotic lit for a living. As Anne said, RAWOAR! What a giggle watching that guy start to touch the gal reading and she smacked his hand away. Yeah, baby! heh heh

I never made it to the Asian guy. My kid came home. I’ll have to try again tomorrow while they’re at school.

And she doesn’t blush much, I’m told

I saw it over on another blog and thought it was hysterical. I’ve read that book and thought it hawt, however, hearing and seeing it read like that, in between laughing, I was blushing myself. Oh yeah, and finally, and Asian shows the world how hot they really are. : )

Heh. Well, given that my blindness Heh. You should still come over to my world. There’s nothing hot whatsoever about synthesized speech reading a sex scene. I am just saying.

LMAO!!! I just have to say that I hope I never have to do a book reading. I’m just not sure I could read aloud what I write.
And that’s not easy to admit. LOL.

I had to turn the sound down real low so I could barely hear it…for some reason, it made me feel less dirty. LOL

Wowser. We used to read bits of Rosemary Rogers aloud like this 30+ years ago when I was in college. It was even better when everyone involved was stoned.

That’s too funny but how many of them probably wanted to keep the book after starting it? LOL.

My hubby will pick up my romance books every so often and page through them. He doesn’t read the whole book, just finds to “good stuff” and reads that. He asked me once “do you want me to talk to you like this when we make love?” I read the scene in question and thought. “um NOPE” It’s sexy and hawt to read in the book, but actually hearing it said to me. . .I’d giggle uncontrollably and the mood would be ruined!! LOL

Ditto, TMS! ROFL, my hubby has tried talking like that and it doesn’t do a thing. Worse is when he sends me what he thinks are erotic letters… I make darn sure not to read them when he’s around ’cause I always end up laughing my butt off!
