lol. like I said - good things should be savored. I think these reading marathons are silly, honestly. not everyone has the time or ability to stay up all night reading, and to make fun of someone because they can't/don't/won't is silly. (hell, my dad's probably still on page 20 and he started it Saturday.)
I don't really consider it a "marathon" -- it's just. I want to get to the end. I want to find out what happens. I'll stop along the way to appease my imagination and such, but really.
I think it's part of being a kid. I rush. I like adrenaline. I eat my ice cream fast. Why shouldn't that be the same for books? I started Saturday afternoon, finished it way early Sunday morning -- that's slow for me. I put the ending on hold. I /did/ savor it -- I kept stopping to think up crossover ideas. But I don't generally read like that. That's just not part of my 'style,' I guess. I mean. I eat the book, barely bothering to chew, and then I digest. I talk to my parents. I talk to my sister. I talk to my friends. That's when I'm savoring it, I think. *shrug* Different opinions, I guess.
