#24in48 - Day 2

“Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.” Don Quixote

This is completely how I expected to feel coming out of my attempt to read for 24 hours during a 48-hour period.  Day one was a pretty good attempt, but day two was an epic failure. 

It started when I went up to bed on Saturday night to start a new book and there was a Doctor Who special on, it was followed by another about the women of Doctor Who.  I was lost to follow up.  I still had hope for Sunday as we had no plans, but you know how that goes… Suddenly the day is full of a million little errands, neighbors visiting, and very little reading time.  I did carry my book the whole time though so maybe I can get some osmosis credit???

At least the afternoon did give me a chance to start The Thin Man, and over the course of about 4 1/2 hours I did read 69 pages, bringing my grand total to 12 hours and 296 pages.  The funny thing is that I think I might be better off trying this 24in48 thing during the week because the weekends are full of much more unexpected distractions.  Can't wait to attempt it again sometime soon.
