I can't believe hour 6 is almost over, and the read-a-thon is already a quarter over! It's been fun, but I was getting a little frustrated reading Tintenherz--the story is certainly engaging and it's fun to read in German, but it takes me much longer than reading in English does. I decided to switch to a book in my native tongue.
Some years ago, one of my grandfathers told me, very out of the blue, that I should read Heart of Darkness. He then explained, "It'll make you want to run right out and drop a lot of acid."
I haven't noticed that effect so far. XD But it's beautiful writing and I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
