You left out, baseball batology.  I have a niece who live aways from me and
who's saving money for college.  I pay her to read important materials.  I
give her $20 per book.  Not much per hour but allot for her since she's not
able to find work in this rural area.

How cool!  I've been on a not-so-subtle campaign to get my family to read
books into audio for me for the last couple of years.  It'd make for GREAT
Christmas and birthday presents, and I wouldn't mind if they stuck with
cassettes.  

I've been able to cajole people into reading aloud _to_ me, since the
personal interaction makes it more worth their while.  Any tips for
encouraging family members to do this? I've tried basic enthusiasm, low
cost, and straight guilt.  Any other ideas? [grin]
