Whew!  I easily surpassed my goal of 12 hours, though fell short of my goal for 6 books.  I really thought I read faster, but perhaps I read faster when I take more mini breaks?  Due to the timing part of this, I worked really hard to read in larger chunks of time.  And gained much compassion for my summer readers of summers past, who dutifully logged their time spent reading.

I'll definitely want to do this again next year!  Perhaps taking a break in the middle for the horrible but fun Sex and the City 2 and dinner with friends was not the best way to get the most out of my 48 hours.  But it did wonders for my sanity!
