The End

I didn't make it 24 hours, but I made it 18, which is fairly respectable.

For the Readathon, I read:

I read:

•  American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
• The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
• Tears of the Giraffe, also by Smith
• Shakespeare's Kings by John Julius Norton. 
• The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie 
• Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith 
• (currently reading) The Kalahari Typing School for Men by Smith

Six books finished, with one at 46%

• Total Pages: 1510
• Pages an Hour: 62 (1 pg/min) 

• Average Page per book: 201

Shorter books were key, I think. However much I enjoyed the longest book I read (Shakespeare's Kings), it was disheartening to be reading the same book for so long - 7 hours, as opposed to the 2 hours or so the others took me. I liked to be able to give "real" updates.

I enjoyed reading along with many people ^_^ However, as I discovered with my 365 Challenge last year, when I have a goal in my head, the reading becomes more about the goal than the reading. I prefer to read for fun, to feel that I can pick up a book or put it down and not have an impact on anything other than what I'm doing at the time.

Still, I may participate again next year. I may also keep this blog up, maybe try for real reviews or reflections when I don't have a time crunch staring me in the face. I do like to crunch the numbers and consider all the books I've read, so we shall see.
