24-hour Read-a-thon!
Goodness this place is dusty. Poor abandoned book blog. Long story short, I’ve been having trouble writing lately, so I, uh, decided not to write.
Anyway. I decided, last minute, to join the 24-hour Read-a-thon. And maybe post things here. We’ll see. It’s more likely I’ll update Twitter more often: I’m yatii there. Also real-time updates here! Hash tag is #readathon.
Apparently Kuala Lumpur (+8 GMT) starts at 8 pm. Daylight savings confuse me (we don’t need to save daylight here, ha), so I’ll just follow this page which lists the start times. If I stay up the whole time, I’d be up 36 hours — I got up a little after 8 am today — which I don’t think is possible, so I’ll just try to stay up as long as possible. Also I’m currently proofing two chapters of a book for work, which needs to be done by Monday, so sadly those are higher priority than the books I actually want to read. Hopefully I’ll get those done by 8 pm!
No book lists, but here’s the TBR shelf, from which I’ll be picking books to read tonight (clicking on the images will take you to Flickr, where you can see the larger versions if you want to!):
If I add more books to that shelf, it’ll probably collapse. :O
Books I’m currently reading right now that I’ll probably continue during the read-a-thon: Race of Scorpions by Dorothy Dunnett (intense concentration required!) and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday (much lighter).
I’ll try to update at the end of each hour, like last time.
Whoo.
