Step One

Be reading a book when she passes your seat
And if she stops for a moment, say, with quiet excitement
"You really would love this book".

Step Two**

Apologizing beforehand for wasting her time,
Proceed to read to her, in a deep, gentle voice,
A page or two from chapter one.

Step Three

If she likes it (she will), and says it's well-written,
And that she must find or purchase a copy somewhere,
Offer to let her borrow it.
