Random Readathon Thoughts
This is my first readathon.
I am very exicted.
Last night I wanted to (but didn’t) start reading from my readathon pile.
I doubt I will do any of the memes. I like them for the readathon but I get too disctracted. I would spend too much time on them.
I don’t start until 10:00 AM EDT.
Just going around and looking at blogs of folks participating has made it clear that if I check up on others progress during the readathon I will be hopelessly distracted and not get any reading done. So, I love you all but I may not be checking out your blogs again much until after this is over. I am sure I will at some point, but if I make it a habit I won’t get anything read.
I posted my ground rules earlier.
I posted my reading list earlier.
I turned off my word verification so as not to confound the cheerleaders.
I only have seven minutes before I start. Must. Brush. Teeth.
I will probably post every hour or so.
Yay!

Ha! It is too easy to get distracted. I will come on to check out the post for the new hour at the read-a-thon site and get lost for close to forever. Looking forward to your progress.

Checking in to see how my fellow read-a-thoners are doing. Hope you're enjoying the reading in one of those nice spots you posted before. Think I'm going to station myself near my open balcony door soon, myself.

Don't worry about not checking blogs till it's over. In my case, though, I think I need a break, hence am checking blogs.:)
Have fun reading!

(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
Just as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.
By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.
Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.
For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
