The Leprechaun Reads

Readathon The End!! | October 23, 2011

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?: Hours 18-21.
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?  The Preacher graphic novel series by Garth Ennis (if they don’t mind tons of profanity, violence, and sex)
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?  Spread the exercise challenges out throughout the day. I would have liked to participate in one, but by that late in the day was too tired.
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s readathon?  From an outsider’s perspective it looked like rotating hosts worked nicely.   I hope you guys got less worn out that way and had your own time to read.   I’m also looking forward to checking out the compiled list of books read by participants and contributing to it.
5. How many books did you read? 5 plus 212 pages of War and Peace
6. What were the names of the books you read? A Clash of King by George R.R. Martin, Stretch: The Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude by Neal Pollack. Preacher (a graphic novel) Volumes 5, 6, and 7…and finally the aforementioned War and Peace
7. Which book did you enjoy most? A Clash of Kings
8. Which did you enjoy least?  War and Peace …or at least the sections that got bogged down in Tolstoy’s theories about history.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?  This is my 3rd readathon and barring schedule conflict I’d like to participate again…One of these times I’ll finally host a mini challenge!
