The first thing to do is to edit the language file to change the default

DEFINE('_READ_MORE','Read more');

with

DEFINE('_READ_MORE','Read more about ');

From there the next step is depending on what Joomla version you use. For the Joomla 1.0.* the solution is simpler:

Search in the  /components/com_content/content.html.php file for the "_linkInfo" function, and inside of that for this line:

$row->link_text = _READ_MORE;

and replace it with something which better satisfies your needs, as

$row->link_text = _READ_MORE.' "'.$row->title.'"';

For Joomla 1.5.* is a bit more work to do... because others where done this before you ;) This functionality is allready implemented allmost everywhere, but there are couple of views where this is missing, and you can make it to work better. The main place where the feature is still missing is the default item's look in the frontpage view. Here's how you can fix it.

Search for /components/com_content/views/frontpage/tmpl/default_item.php and around lines 130-140 you will find the code you will need to modify:

<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>"
class="readon<?php echo $this->item->params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>">
<?php if ($this->item->readmore_register) :
echo JText::_('Register to read more...');
elseif ($readmore = $this->item->params->get('readmore')) :
echo $readmore;
else :
echo JText::sprintf('Read more...');
endif; ?></a> 

Use your imagination - I'm confident, you can do wonders here!
