Like if I were reading a devotional book, say Our Daily Bread or something, would that count? We can count the bible too, right?</p> <p>~TahiriVeila </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2010-enthusiasm-questions-and-comments/page/5#post-5061 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:57:42 +0000 Janin of Yen 5061@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Ha! That's funny! <br />No, I just loved the book and want to read it again, but if it didn't count I thought I'd better read something that did. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br />Thanks! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2010-enthusiasm-questions-and-comments/page/5#post-5060 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:51:21 +0000 Jordan 5060@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Yes, you can read a book twice in a row if you'd like. Don't anybody get any ideas, but we had somebody last year who decided he'd try to read the same book over and over for three months, because he'd have it memorized and could read it faster and rack up more pages.<div><br /></div><div>So as long as that's not your goal, go for it!</div> </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2010-enthusiasm-questions-and-comments/page/5#post-5058 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:13:34 +0000 Janin of Yen 5058@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>So... if you read a book, flip it over and read it again, (literally, cover to cover twice,) does that count as reading it twice? You said rereading old favorites, but twice in a row? </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2010-enthusiasm-questions-and-comments/page/5#post-4846 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:33:07 +0000 Jordan 4846@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>*Is a happy camper every year, so far...*<div><br /></div><div><br /> <blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span">(Just the same,&nbsp;it never ceases to amaze me at the sheer volume of pages some people are capable of devouring in an afternoon!)</span></blockquote> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Me too.

For the same reason, I'll carry that over to this Read-a-Thon.<div><br /></div><div>But reading a peer's work... Sure! It's not handwritten, right? So either figure out how many pages it is when printed, or check in your word processor for how many pages it is at... Let's say 12-point, single-spaced. That work for you?</div><div><br /></div><div>By the way, let me make a little note:</div><div><br /></div><div>I understand the push to read a lot. But as I end up pointing out every year, this isn't just about reading the most. We purposely made it possible for anybody, regardless of reading speed, to have a chance to win a prize. If you end up reading during your summer when you might otherwise have not, then you've fulfilled the goal of the Read-a-Thon and made me one happy camper. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </div> </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2010-enthusiasm-questions-and-comments/page/5#post-4833 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:06:09 +0000 RoadToGrinnell 4833@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Audio books will be an interesting way of sneaking in some extra pages.&nbsp; Like Melody, there's a lot of times when I'm working that I could have an audio book, instead of music, going on in the background.</p> <p>I have another question.&nbsp; If I read something substantial a peer (or I!) wrote, can I count the pages in some way?&nbsp; As a writer, I am often reading other people's drafts, as well as re-reading my own.&nbsp; Is there some way I can count this reading?&nbsp; Thanks! </p>
