Readathon time! It doesn’t seem like it’s been long since the last readathon, but here we are again with the event coming up on Saturday-Sunday of this weekend. Naturally I’ve been working on my stack and trying to decide what to read. For once, I’m actually at my partner’s flat in Belgium for the readathon, which means a) I’ll probably be up for the whole thing because I have chronic insomnia here, and b) I only brought my ereader with me, no dead tree books. On the other hand, I have comics to borrow and a whole stack of library books too, so it’s not as though I’m short of reading material.
To reread:
-Robin McKinley, Rose Daughter.
–Lois McMaster Bujold, Shards of Honour.
-Guy Gavriel Kay, A Song for Arbonne.
–Mary Stewart, The Crystal Cave.
New:
–Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park.
–Keri Hulme, The Bone People.
-Robert MacFarlane, The Old Ways.
–Kurt Vonnegut, Galapagos.
To finish:
-James Morrow, This is the Way The World Ends.
Comics:
-Loki: Agent of Asgard.
-Thor.
-Winter Soldier.
Anyone else I know doing it?
Argh! I would love to do this but it would have to fall on the same day as my best friend’s going away party (she’s moving to London). Maybe in March. Have fun!
It does that sometimes — I read right through a gig I went to once while just bopping around gently to the music, and I’m going to a con on Sunday! I just fit in what I can.
I have signed up, though I won’t be doing a full 24 hours.
How much of your list do you expect you’ll get through? It seems like quite a lot.
I don’t always either — in fact, I haven’t for a couple years. Staying up all night doesn’t agree with me. But at the moment I’ve got serious insomnia, so we’ll see! It’s always fun, no matter how much or little I do.
Five books is about my average. The comics should be pretty easy to get through.
No, I wish I could, but I will have to make a note for April ^^
Which Thor are you reading?
Boo.
Uhhh, whatever my girlfriend’s TPBs are, heh. I’ll post about ’em later, no doubt.
