Due to the success of the last challenge I decided to challenge again. This time, rather then writing, I am going to read.
On Friday, when Emma and I went to Stratford, I picked up a copy of 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss as recommended by Andy and Nina. I chose the book based on the recommendations and also because it has been a while since I read fantasy, having been more concerned with Sci-Fi books of recent. Lets hope I find it gripping!
I'm planning to read it all by next Sunday. My first thought, when picking up the book, was 'Oh, it's quite a lot longer then I thought' and I actually hesitated of going through with the challenge, but then I realised that its not that long, and it was entirely possible and also that if I didn't go through with it i'd let myself down.
It's 662 pages long. Thats 662 pages in 7 days, an average of approximately 95 Pages per day, and I will update again on Thursday to let you know of my half time progress.
So far I am off to a terrible start as I have been with my Family all day, but this evening I am going to atleast start myself off and, though I might not hit the daily average, it will be better then no reading at all!
