"...meant to be read aloud and shared ..." Written by Cathy Allen (10/21/2009 11:08 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Group reading as an historical tradition (?), penned by Jeffrey

From my -- admittedly limited -- reading about JA, I don't think there's any doubt about this. Her family, I understand, did it frequently, and with her own books, too, before and after publication. Reading aloud to each other is a lost art, I'm afraid, and we are the poorer for it.

And I completely agree; I would NEVER have uncovered or understood the subtleties on my own. These GR's are a real treasure. The only problem is that they go by too FAST!
