This is my final readathon pile! The third book from above (Model Gliding by Marcel Möring in Dutch: Modelvliegen) I will actually not read on paper: I have the audiobook waiting on my iPod. With thanks to Elsje las!
Listening to the advise of oldtimers I’ve decided to start with a short book to get a feeling of accomplishment: The Pianoman (also in Dutch: De Pianoman), by Bernlef. It’s the boekenweekgeschenk from 2008: ‘book week present’. Each year in March there’s a week devoted to books and reading. If you spend 20 euro’s on Dutch literature, you’ll get that year’s gift written by a famous author. This started as early as 1930! In the beginning the public had to guess who the author was by reading the novella.
Oh my, I suddenly discover I forgot to put one book in the photograph… The China Lover! Well, I might even never get to it anyway ;)
I wonder what this readathon will do to my daily post statistics… LOL The hard part of coming 24 hours will be not to spend too much time behind my computer blogging and following other readathonners! Beneath you can see my starting position. Good luck to all! :)

My name is Louise, and I am from Copenhagen, Denmark. This is my first visit to your blog (I think!, although I might have been by before, now that I think about it), and I am already looking forward to come back when the whole Read-a-Thon busyness has come down ;-)
The Read-a-Thon began for me at 2 PM, since 5 AM Pacific Time means 2 PM Copenhagen Time ;) And, Netherland Time as well, I guess. I hope to be able to hang around for many more hours… I am not reading though, but having a lot of fun working my way through a lot of great blogs to cheer. GO! GO! GO!

I love your chair, and your new side table. My sofa isn’t nearly so stylish. :)
