Devourer of Books

I think that I should post about the reading funk and the book-ban, but I don’t feel like it.  So

On Saturday during the read-athon, I finished two books, Stephenie Meyers’s “Breaking Dawn” and Jane Yolen’s “Briar Rose.”  I was within 25 pages of hitting 1,000 pages that day, but I just couldn’t do more.  Since then I’ve read maybe 80 pages of “Capote in Kansas” by Kim Powers.  Although I’m enjoying “Capote in Kansas,” I’m feeling a bit of a reading funk.  In order to try to remedy this, I’m imposing a reading semi-ban through Friday.

I will allow myself to work through “Capote in Kansas” during lunch time or if I get cold enough to take a hot bath at night, but that’s it.  Any time I’m at home, if I want entertainment, it will be television and popcap.com games, all the way.  I may

I took a fairly long break after finishing “Breaking Dawn” around 2 and have only now finally finished my much shorter book, “Briar Rose” by Jane Yolen, another 224 pages.  

I really should read another 25 pages of something at least, so I can get to a full 1,000.  I don’t think I’m going to make it much longer, however, even though it isn’t all that late here.  I knew I wouldn’t be able to make it all night, but I didn’t think I’d crash by

If I’m not mistaken, the 7th hour of the read-athon just ended.  Since my last update I took a little nap and a couple of breaks, but I also just finished the whole 750+ pages of Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn.”  I’m not totally sure what I am going to read next, but I think I may try to go and find something to eat first.  The husband and I may also go over to the pool and get a few

I’m starting to think I have a cursed relationship with the read-athon.  Last time I was having issues with my blog, having just switched over from WordPress to self-hosting, and couldn’t post at times.  Now my whole internet keeps going out.  With my last post I even had to restart it a second time just to publish what I had written.

Anyway, more non-stop reading.  My google reader is going to be insane whenever I finally have consistent internet but, what can you do?  I’m on page 543 of “Breaking Dawn,” so I’m approaching the end and thinking somewhat about what I will read next.
I hope everyone else’s technology is behaving better
