Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now? A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin

2. How many books have you read so far? I finished The Pigeon by Patrick Suskind

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? I may start Animal Farm by George Orwell, but I have no commitment to books today.

4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? I didn't rest well last night, so I took a midday nap for a coupe of hours, but that was my only setback

5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? Can't say there are any real surprises other than how interested I finally became in finishing A Clash of Kings

Opening Meme - Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon October 2014

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

The Pigeon by Peter Suskind

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I'm gonna bake some chocolate chip cookies later. I'm also looking forward to breakfast, because I never have breakfast.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm really grumpy when waking and have obscene reading goals, but I started reading later in life.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
I really have no set goals. My aim is just to read, so my list may change or I might switch it up or never finish anything.
