Pleasure Reading While Sewing

Back in the old days, a well-spoken reader would be chosen to read from the newspaper or a book while family members sewed or did other quiet handiwork-tasks in the evening. I have nobody here but Husband watching Monday Night Football, so how do I get my reading fix when I need to sew? My computer has a speech service that will "read" what it recognizes as text. None of those old-book scanned PDFs work, but other articles and blogposts do. So I can make Christmas presents while Gene Logsdon tells me some things about starting a fire in a woodstove we could have used growing up, or the value of a wooded lot. I can hear poetry or preaching or gardening tips. Pretty fun!
