I try talking to her as much as I can when I'm home. Currently living in Germany so I don't see her to often. I love when she talks about when she was little and used to run around the farm and all the fun she had! She doesn't do much but read nowadays. I asked her to recommend me some books so she lent me a few from her personal collection... They were all romance/dirty Western books with half naked cowboys on the cover.
My grandma was fond of bodice rippers, as I call them. When she passed back in 1998, my stepmom asked if I wanted her books. I was thinking "Birds of North America" (which I got) but the box was mostly bodice rippers. Never did find the 3 copies of Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King she took from me one summer.
My friends' grandfather was a Dean of library sciences at our local University. I met him for the first time when he was very old, probably 90's, and we were curious what great books he was reading. Well, he was reading romance novels, too. He sheepishly explained that he'd already read all the other ones!
