Now I’m reading The Chocolate War, and in 60 minutes I read 78 pages. I also listened to another CD of Lolita, which took about 75 minutes.
Cumulative stats:
7.75 hours reading, 415 pages + 2 CD’s, in which I’ll calculate the pages later
2 books completed Bear and The Penelopiad
Mid-Readathon Survey
1. What are you reading right now? The Chocolate War and Lolita
2. How many books have you read so far? I’ve finished two.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? Not sure yet.
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? Not really.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? A few, but it was no problem.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? It feels a little easier this year. I haven’t participated in any mini-challenges yet, but it seems like I’ve got more reading done.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? None yet.
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? Nothing. I learned from the first readathon to pick short books (which I’m successfully doing this time)!
9. Are you getting tired yet? A little, but I’m okay for now.
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Well, as stated above, picking short books is key for me. Also, CDs work if you have to be in the car or when you’re too tired to read anymore.
