Last night I picked up some shorter titles specifically for the read-a-thon, The Reluctant Fundamentalist (Hamid), The School of Essential Ingredients (Bauermeister) and Norwegian Wood (Murakami). I'll most likely pick one of these up after Slaughterhouse-Five - which has been great so far.
It is miserably gray outside and it feels like the perfect day to read. I'm going to stay holed up at home for most of the day with a book in hand. This is my first read-at-thon and I'm not sure what to expect, but I am hoping to finish 3 books. I think that's pretty realistic provided they aren't too long. Let the read-a-thon begin!
NORWEGIAN WOOD!
ReplyDeletePICK UP NORWEGIAN WOOD
It's going to bomb in a 24h sitting!
The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a great quick read. I read it in just under 5 hours, in one sitting... Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteBen, I'm going to hit The Reluctant Fundamentalist first, then Norwegian Wood I think.
ReplyDeleteTNBBC, It sounds quite interesting and is under 200 pages so it seems like a good read-a-thon pick. Glad to hear you liked it!
It's pouring down rain here too. I couldn't pick a more perfect day for a read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteGlad the bookstore trip was a win! Have a great time reading!
ReplyDeleteBOOH :(
ReplyDeleteAvid Reader, I know it's perfect!
ReplyDeletehistoryofshe, It was and you too!
Ben, Please don't be sad I promise I will get to it :)
