Start Your Reading Now!
Well, actually, start your reading 2.5 hours ago, but that was too early. It's the Second Annual Classics Club Readathon! I'll be reading as much as I can all day, but I have other things to do too--like go out with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. Which is really on Monday.
I have lots of books that want me to read them, but I'll be starting with
Where the Red Fern Grows--I started it yesterday and got a couple of chapters in
Dead Souls--so far so good, but I'm not very far along yet.
I think I'll save any vintage SF for later in the day--so far this week I've zipped through 3 already!
I'll update every so often, but mostly in a readathon, I read. Have a great reading day!
12:00pm PST: I didn't read either of those books. Instead I picked up History in English Words by Owen Barfield to read over breakfast, and just kept going with that. I read the first section of 4 chapters and now I'm going to switch.
The CC has some questions. I'm supposed to say:
6:00pm PST: This afternoon I worked on three books:
Where the Red Fern Grows--I got more than halfway through. Boy, is there a lot about dogs and raccoons.
Dead Souls--I read three longish chapters and am nearly 100 pages in now. It's pretty funny!
Arthurian Romances--I read a little more than a third of "Erec et Enide," one of the earliest Arthurian romances. You never hear of Sir Erec nowadays, but he's got quite a story.
