It's not just for kids!  When my wife was expecting I read _The Greene
Murder Case_ to her.  When I first read the book (silently) I was rather
put off by all those unpleasant characters.  When I read it aloud, it was
great fun acting out all those unpleasant characters!

Trying reading "The Princess Bride" aloud.  It is a great
story to share with your children.
