October 2015 Read-a-thon

[LauraT]

From Friday October 23rd at 12.01am (in your local time zone), you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday October 25th at 11.59pm. In this Octobery Read-a-thon thread you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied on the Monday to reach the goal of 20,000 pages. This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if you read 20 pages or 100, it also doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway:)
But remember, finishing this week end the daylight saving time and getting back the solar time we can read - not sleep!!! - an hour more!!!!

Put your name on this thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!

As for the last read-a-thon, better to keep track of all numbers, we change the first post we write - the one with thst I'm in statement! - in this discussion, so each of us has only one and not 2000 as before!!!!


*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day.

**For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total.Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.

***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time.

Don't forget to list totals in this thread. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.

I'm in!

Friday: To the Lighthouse 43, savoring, not racing!

Saturday: What a slug. I made no entry. But I did laundry!

Sunday: 64 pages more, it's only 7:13 p.m. Keep going back, rereading, I'm quite sure it's my last read of it, and I want to know it, take it in. I adore Miss Woolf, and I'm in love with her Mrs. Ramsey. I'm lingering in the company of both of them.

Also maybe 150 pages of other material? A considerable amount of The Great Gatsby, to refresh my memory, and a big slug of Scott Fitz's letters.. A Life in Letters: A New Collection Edited and Annotated by Matthew J. Bruccoli I'm so tired of wanting to discuss the book and finding no one has anything to say that has anything outside the approved comments of the name critics and academicians. You listen to some people enough and you start to doubt your own mind...

Total Pages: 207, but much thinking, and the bones of a short story, written, I mean. Not to mention the laundry!
