3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? Jane Eyre, I've never gotten around to reading it and it has been on my list for ages.
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? I've not had many interruptions thankfully!
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? Not so surprising so much as enlightening. I had always wondered what my reading speed was and it seems to be about 50-55 pages per hour.
