The Hitchhiker's Guide Series (especially the first three books) are
great "read aloud" books.  David and I read all four aloud, switching
readers at each chapter.  When we travel long distance by car, we read
the newspaper to each other (passenger reads, of course :-) ).

Working crosswords together is also fun.  We also enjoy watching
basketball snuggled together on the couch.  Of course, we also do
strange things like write software, develop class assignments
for our students, and, rumor has it, install faster crystals in
his PC over spring break.  You just have to be creative.

You don't have to spend money to have a good time.  Even cooking
dinner together can be fun.
