They move quickly. And I don't know what translation you're reading of Inferno but I have Hollander and I"m amazed at how quickly it's moving. Just don't get too bogged down in reading EVERY footnote or it will kill you -- that's what happened to me last summer, but now it's going well.Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-53489598843228396152011-10-21T21:10:33.742-04:002011-10-21T21:10:33.742-04:00I'm sorry things have been rough!

Don't push it if it doesn't feel right, though. :(Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-85942719445729483912011-10-21T07:56:09.719-04:002011-10-21T07:56:09.719-04:00I was feeling like you feel in August/September --...I was feeling like you feel in August/September -- just overwhelmed. And I didn't have walking pneumonia! <br /><br />Just relax and read as you feel pulled to it, Allie. There will be another readathon in April :-) and sometimes it's the wrong time to read. Besides, I remember you went ALL OUT last readathon, working straight through the night while sick, then working only four hours later. No need to do that again! <br /><br />I'll be joining the readathon, but I'm hoping to focus intensely on reading rather than socializing this time, so while I'll miss you, we'd have probably seen little of one another anyway. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and Hamlet!! Yay!!<br /><br />I think you should spend the readathon watching movies, like Sense and Sensibility or Far and Away, and go to bed like you normally would, so you can heal up. Pneumonia is not readathon weather. :-)<br /><br />x*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-56527836952854941752011-10-20T21:15:19.647-04:002011-10-20T21:15:19.647-04:00Like Amanda said, I'm sorry things have been s...Like Amanda said, I'm sorry things have been so awful.
