Where are you reading from today? The suburbs of Tallahassee, Florida, in the panhandle of Florida. The weather is terrible here today, which makes it perfect for reading.3 facts about me …
* I'm a big sports fan, something that you would never guess looking at me. I love college football (no NFL), MLB, NHL, golf, you name it -- but only as a spectator. I'm a terrible athlete and don't play anything.
* I'm a lifelong Florida Gators fan, in spite of the fact that I live and work in the home of the FSU Seminoles.
* I currently own almost 700 books and have read less than half.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? I picked 6, along with several copies of the NY Times Book Review and the New York Review of Books.
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? My hope is to finish 3 of the 6 books and at least 2 of the book reviews. I never track number of pages. I'm also going to attempt to keep up with the challenges and to read others' blogs, but I don't have any set numbers for either of those things.
Any advice for people doing this for the first time? I'm a first-timer, so I'm more interested in getting advice than giving it, lol!

I'm thinking maybe I won't worry about keeping track of pages. I usually don't track how many pages I read. Are you having fun? I think I'm enjoying the whole blogosphere part more than the actual reading :-)
I'm enjoying this so far, even though I don't seem to be making much headway. Maybe it's just the book? Oh well, anytime spent reading isn't a waste.
