Holly’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

Iasa, I'm in! I'm always willing to read a Du Maurier!

People are getting so creative with how they use the mini-challenges. It's great!

Faye, I know your pain.

But, regardless, WE CAN DO THIS!

Go Kassandra! :D

At least you have a good selection. I personally have no idea!

That's an insane list, Camille!

I had the pleasure of studying Huck Finn the other week. Great novel!

And I agree, the dialect is tough sometimes!

Great idea, Rob! :D

Relaxing classical music, Sandy. The playlist is actually online, and I'm slowly going through a set of playlists with a reading tag. It's great fun!

Found a really awesome music playlist with the exact kind of classical music I love to listen to when reading. So that'll be playing throughout the Readathon week.

That and the comfy chair in my dorm room means I'm all set for next week. And don't forget my big flask of coffee! (Saves me from going to the kitchen)

As for costume, I always have a blanket when reading, so I have normal clothes, and my blanket with cute owls on!

I still need to finalise my reading list though!

No As- The Turn of the Screw
No Es- Dracula
No Is- Henry V
No Os- A Study in Scarlet
No Us- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
No Ys- The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within

Completed, on 18th Oct! Luckily, things just fell into place!

Sandy, the Great Speeches on Gay Rights sounds fascinating! I'll definitely check this out!

Thanks Amber!

That's seriously awesome, Iasa!

You do realise how ironic that is, Faye? After all, Raskolnikov is a murder! :P

I might, at least pairing with the actual texts. I have a few 15 min walks to my lecture and seminar rooms (stupidly big campus), so they'd suit me well!

On a Holden Caufield note, I'm studying Catcher in the Rye this semester. Reluctant because it's such a love-hate book!

Renee, that is definitely some serious aversion to Russian Lit! I would definitely get past Book 1, if possible!

Dracula is spreading!

Still haven't got round to finishing Wuthering Heights! Whole-heartedly agreed, there are some books that just don't agree with us!

(I am actually studying Wuthering Heights next semester, so I finally have an excuse to read it!)

Oh my god, Faye, that made me laugh.

I wasn't expecting it to be such a adventure novel as such, with a team of characters fighting off evil. I knew of Lucy, but little of Mina. Generally, I just think my original perceptions were far different to what it was. I expected it to be far more like Frankenstein, a bit more philosophical and dark. Instead, the humour surprised me.
