Goodreads Malaysia discussion

Is anyone planning to participate in the 24-hour Read-a-thon held on 24 October? (More info here: http://24hourreadathon.com/ ) Basically it's a lot of people planning to spend twenty-four hours, or part of those twenty-four hours, reading. Not that some of us don't do it already. :D

Downside to it is it starts at 1200 UTC, which, um, translates to 8 pm Saturday here. (Mesti terlelap lepas dua tiga jam, ye tak? ;))

This is that dewey's 24hour-challange thing, right? been reading about it, but have never done it before. (staying up all night reading is a usual thing, so i dont think that counts.. haha).. would be interesting though..

Reading 24 hours would only work for me kalau bukunya bagus (downside - kalau buku bagus, habis pun cepat! Belum 24 hours dah habis!). Kalau bukunya boring, fail la read-a-thon tu sebab zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hahaha

Don't plan to. I read for pleasure so I prefer to take my time. I don't care how many books I manage to finish in a day, a week, a month, a year (which is why I've never participated in this group's "List of 50 Books I've Read This Year".

Besides 24/10 is my birthday so I'll probably be out books shopping.

Ulya, yep, that's the one.

Kataklicik: Heh. There's nothing against chucking the book that's boring you and starting another one. I joined the last one and, um, I think I fell asleep around 2 am. Which made it pretty much like bedtime reading for me, hehe.

Khairul: Yeah, I get what you mean. But the whole thing is mostly about reading for 24 hours, not about how much you read within that time. (Still, sustained reading for 24 hours is not for everyone!) Some people keep track, a lot of others don't.

And here's an advanced "Happy Birthday" wish to you! Go forth and find some good books. :D
