Unfortunately it takes a long time to read out loud, so it always takes a few days to read them. So we start one and then Peter goes to work. And I'm home alone with the book. A book I could read pretty quickly. But I don't. I could just pretend to be surprised even though I knew what was happening. But I don't read it, because we're reading it together. Usually I try not to look at the book so I'm not tempted.
I told Peter last night that I was tempted to read the book while he was gone. The next morning I realized he had tried to hide the book.
Of course it was the first thing I saw when I went into the kitchen, but kudos for trying.

I would not expect such self control from one who eats so much ice cream.
I can't show self-control with books. I've tried reading just a chapter at night, and then I realize when I've finished the book that it's 2 in the morning and I have to go to work in a few hours. So I just have a rule now that I can't start books after midnight. It should technically be not starting after 10, but that's too restrictive.
