So is The Glass Castle. You've got a lot of variety there...I think you'll be fine. :-D The Potato Peel book (as I heard someone call it the other day) is an excellent choice. So is The Glass Castle.

Both are very fast reads, and thus perfect for the Read-a-thon! Enna Burning is another great one. Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent book, but even though it's short it's a bit slow-going. Bradbury's writing demands a lot of attention. Happy reading! I loved Coraline and Despereaux. Both are very fast reads, and thus perfect for the Read-a-thon! Enna Burning is another great one.

Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent book, but even though it’s short it’s a bit slow-going. Bradbury’s writing demands a lot of attention.

Happy reading!

And not only do I have a house full of unread books but I live across the street from a library. I went and picked up more books for the read-a-thon last night. Now I am having trouble deciding which one to start with! I have that some panicked voice in my head! And not only do I have a house full of unread books but I live across the street from a library.

I would actually recommend against <i>Atonement</i>, though, even though I loved it - once I'd finished it I felt the need to let it sit and gestate for a while before reading something else - not so good for the readathon! <i>Bonk</i> is an excellent choice if you get in the mood for some non-fiction - easy reading and very funny.
