By my calcs that is 57 pages a day if I start now!!!! And none have arrived on the doorstep - Ouch!!! I must admit I'm not really a fan of Hollingurst either so that 576 pages is going to be a struggle.Messy_Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793938555354522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167986121420161934.post-74491289971233004662011-08-04T07:57:32.334-04:002011-08-04T07:57:32.334-04:00Wow Tony, you have your work cut out for you!

I read a blog post just after the prize announcement where someone had done the math: if you read 48 pages per day you could read the entire longlist by October 18. Of course you would have had to get started right away ... good luck !Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219439074687598827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167986121420161934.post-70195882069414468102011-08-03T22:01:49.380-04:002011-08-03T22:01:49.380-04:00I've just ordered 11 of the 13 online so will ...I've just ordered 11 of the 13 online so will be joining in as soon as the packages start arriving, and I will be attempting to get through the whole long list - extremely unlikely that I'll do so before the shortlist is announced on September 6 - and still unlikely I'll have them all completed before the winner's announced on October 18. Great challenge and thanks again Laura.Messy_Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793938555354522246noreply@blogger.com
