It's the first week of classes at Kennesaw State, and as has been the case for a couple of years this coincides with the August Bout-of-Books readathon. Since I will be reading anyway, even if it's less than I really want to, I'm signing up again. Some goals for this week: finish the book I'm currently reading by Kate Aronoff, et. al:
A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal and get enough of Samuel Delany's
Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand to not embarass myself in the SF bookclub meeting tomorrow night. After that, it will be time to see how much headway I can make in Pierre Broue's massive
tome on the German Revolution of 1917-1923.
What is Bout of Books? From the organizers:
The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are daily challenges, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional.
