1. I am reading Lynne Truss' Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door and dipping in and out of Michael Dirda's Bound to Please.2. No full books...only essays and columns.
3. I am most looking forward to finishing Truss' book.
4. At this point, the only special arrangement I make is clearing it with my husband and he then plans an outing for himself and our girls.
5. There are always interruptions and one just deals.
6. I am most surprised by how well picking essays and columns and episodic writing fits the read-a-thon. Because there are so many breaks in the writing, it makes it easy to take breaks, to remember to eat, and to check what is happening with other participants.
7. My only suggestion would be to bring back the page that would update when any of the participants posted. It made it easier to know who had posted and pay them a visit.
8. There isn't anything I would do differently as a reader.
9. Not tired yet. I remember that at this point during prior read-a-thons I was usually a little dazed and loopy at this point but I think mini-breaks are really helping with that.
10. No tips. There are already so many good ones out there and there also seems to be a certain amount of individual trial and error that is idiosyncratic.

And your readathon is going great!
Keep it up. You are doing great.
Sounds like essays, articles, or even short stories would be a great idea for a read a thon. Way to think of that.
Hope you are having a blast.
