Getting sleepy! Guess I'll break out the Cherry Coke Zero a little early.

Mid-Event Survey:

1. What are you reading right now? In the Bedroom (short stories) by Andre Dubus (great writer) and listening to The Woman Who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde (great and wacky writer)
2. How many books have you read so far? Almost 2 complete and a partial
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? Good Talk and Quiet Girl in a Noisy World (both graphic nonfictions)
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Just my husband (who normally is away for the October Readathon) asking "How's it going"? It's actually sweet.
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? I'm surprised I haven't been sleepier (just one brief sleepy episode this morning)
