Update
So far I’ve read 279 pages in The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Dilemma. I have 102 pages left. The breakdown:
Hour 5: 20 pages/1 break to make and eat lunch
Hour 6: 52 pages
Hour 7: 20 pages/took shower break
Hour8: 32 pages /started watching Michigan game
I’m enjoying my book and I like that it’s an easy read, but I wish I’d chosen a short book to start with so that I could finish a book. I feel left out that I’m still on Book 1. 😦 Also, I’m not raising much money for my charity…
This hour I’m taking a break to check out some blogs and enter some challenges. Here are a few:
Nise’s Who Keeps You Company mini-challenge
Usually I’m on my own (or with a blanket because the air-conditioning is always very cold) but occassionally I get a visit from these:
Nicole‘s Feed Me Seymour challenge
I just finished reading about stale popcorn. Want some?
“Constance found herself suddently famished, and as Reynie and the others discussed what the image might mean, she mad ehosrt work of the stale popcorn, cramming it into her mouth by the handful….”That would be an understatement,” said Kate, checking the popcorn bowl. It was empty, of course.”

Thanks to all the cheerleaders and others leaving comments to keep me going. Off to read some more!
my books. my life. 
You’re doing a great job! The last 100 pages of Prisoner’s Dilemma are really action packed, and they go quickly.
You can always pick a short book next to boost your numbers. 🙂

He is up high. He opens the closet door, climbs on top of our clothes and goes to sleep at the top of the closet. And he’s the less annoying one.
