Well, I always thought it was a bit more suspicious when somebody showed up out of the blue with a pile of books, instead of building up a little at a time.

Um… Tom Sawyer never wrote anything…

I definitely have a life and hobby besides reading. But I do read a lot more than most of my friends.

Never slept with a book, and generally I don’t take them with me unless I really know I’ll have time to red them. Although when my family goes on vacation, beware! I usually bring about three times more than I’ll actually read, and once I read straight through The Complete Sherlock Holmes on one long vacation trip. I also did Tears of a Dragon for the first time all in one drive home from vacation (Circles of Seven on the way there.)

And I wanted to name our dog Taylaminkadot when we got her, but my mom vetoed it.

* joins Alassiel in being off-topic* I was one of the winners, too.

I just checked, and I can create a custom title, so if somebody wants to make a read-off or something, I’m willing to give out a custom title or two as prizes.

Wow! I forgot a lot of things…

Let’s see… I have no favorite fantasy novel, but at one point I had thought that Frodo would be suitable for a firstborn son. :lol:

I also insert random book quotes into conversation. Like Alassiel, I plan on owning a house with a large room devoted to books, or maybe several, or how about the whole second floor…

If you’d like to start a reading group around here, go ahead. That’s perfectly fine with me! Do you think we might need a new board for reading groups? (Anybody speak up on this)

The problem with doing more than one Read-a-Thon per year is that most of the “draw” comes from prizes. There’s nothing that says that when Christmas Break comes around we can’t all just have fun seeing who can read the most, though. If you want to start it, go for it. Put it in the Games board, though. The Read-a-Thon board is really for “official” Read-a-Thons.
