I haven't had 24 unaccounted for hours to read a book since the H.W. Bush administration. BUT, if my life tastes matched the means I have to experience them, I would take this challenge up in a nanosecond.
The only reason why I'm waiting for a time machine is just to jump back in time and have dinner with Nora. A dinner back when she was writing for the Esquire, missed the big inheritance from her uncle and she found herself so skint she had to finish the screenplay that became "When Harry Met Sally".
When I read on "Consider This" that you knew her and you met her a few months before she died, something bounced in my chest. Nostalgia for a moment I didn't live.
Thinking of you two chatting over a coffee was something I always wanted to capture on photo and frame it.
On a side note: "I Feel Bad About My Neck" is a sexy wink to the world. You can't read it and not fall in love with Nora. God, I miss her so much.
The audiobook is 5 and half hours. Listen to at double speed and you're down to just two episodes of the Bachelor. Or Naked and Afraid. Or Touched By an Angel. Whatever your guilty pleasure.
I can do it. I used to read 7 books a day. As long as it's not Anna Karenina or Gone with the Wind I can read most books in 8 hours. Will I get a prize tho lmfao
The book looks very interesting, but, contrary to popular opinion, I am not a trained terrapin that will drop everything on command. 24 hours is way too short.
Thanks for the book recommendation. There are times when I am reminded that I do have a life away from this page.
192 pages. Quick read, huh? And psst, we all can read the spoiler at any time in the future, as in once we have read the book, or not.
To think, I live across the street from the Jewish Public Library and it's the one book by a Jewish writer they don't have in their catalogue. So near, but yet so far!! (plus it's almost too icy here to cross the street! Ice storm city!!)
Trust me. It's a very fast read. The movie... I can't recommend.
[big sigh of relief] Good luck everyone else!
PS Check in with the Pixie Project at your leisure. Hope you were feted in style!!

Audiobook from the Library to the rescue. Will Smith's autobiography will have to step aside.
Well then. Looks like I’m putting one day delivery to the test.
Update: it failed.
Here comes the piracy
Now I know what my day looks like.
Given that book choice, are you trying to turn Valentine's Day into Burning Man?
