Introduction meme

1) Where are you reading from today?
Gothenburg, Sweden

2) Three random facts about me…
I'm a vegetarian
I collect vintage umbrellas (and clothes, and books, and all old stuff you can think of...)
My hair is 80 cm long (that's...um, about 32" for you americans with illogical measurements)

3) How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
21. I always aim for the best, and one never know which reading mood one will be in. If I'm good I'll probably make it through four or so.

4) Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
Finishing the stack of half-read books on my bedside table.

5) If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
I wouldn't call myself a veteran, but this is my second readathon. My best tip is to stock up on anthologies and short light-reading novels for hour 18 when your eyes are bleeding. Also, good lightening is key to keep your body awake.
