Progress isnt always easy to show

Soon after my last post I realized I needed to buy some dress shoes for tomorrow. Upon ensuring that I had an audiobook I could listen to I struck out for Macy’s. While waking I listened to Catch 22 and while waiting for and riding on the subway I read 1984 on my iPhone. Amazon’s Kindle app is by far one of my favorites. I also have the new Barnes and Noble eReader app, but have yet to use it.

Since returning from my shoe errand I finished The Fellowship of the Ring and have delved deeper into 1984.

While I love days like this, a part of me (the inner narcisist perhaps) wishes I could show more. To say I read 10 books in one day would be awesome, but then I’d have to choose different books. Oh well. I may not be able to demonstrate progress with numbers, but that’s really not what matters anyway.

Somer October 24, 2009 at 6:09 PM You’re doing great, even if you don’t have a lot to show for it! Hope you’re having fun!
Louise October 24, 2009 at 6:25 PM Its the 11th hour of the Read-a-Thon. How are you holding up? I’m cheering for you. You can do it!!!
Vasilly October 24, 2009 at 8:25 PM Happy reading!
Laza October 24, 2009 at 8:45 PM It’s really easy to get caught up in the “can-i-read-more-than-you” thing. That’s how I was last go round. But it’s too stressful! I like the relaxed approach much better! Keep up the great reading!
Nise' October 24, 2009 at 8:55 PM I bet the Catch-22 audio is great to listen to. Many you enjoy more reading hours.
Valerie October 24, 2009 at 10:27 PM Well, you might have gotten more read than in an usual day, right? enjoy the rest of the readathon!
Tracie Yule October 24, 2009 at 11:07 PM You could say that you read ten children’s books :) I read that everyday! The fellowship of the ring isn’t exactly quick reading, so great job!
Kailana October 24, 2009 at 11:46 PM Wow, that is some amazing multi-tasking!

Nise: the audio recording is very well done. Makes it easy to listen to.

Valerie: yes, I have definitely read more than a normal day! way more.

Thanks everyone!
