Sorcha, here's a thought. I agree that his body was just a piece of meat by then...but...if his soul was still around in the ether (so to speak), then he might appreciate the gesture and be drawn in by her focusing on reading to him...so maybe she had an audience after all, even if he wasn't literally in the body. ;-)

Tremors is a darned funny movie, and means to be. I liked it.
