Starting the Readathon

I'm off and running in the readathon!  I'm beginning with Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain this morning, and then I'll see if/when I switch over to Naguib Mahfouz's Palace Walk.  Tolkien's Two Towers for a change of pace later as well.

My starting point for the three books I plan to read in:

• Magic Mountain:  I'm starting at the beginning (Vintage).
• Palace Walk:  I'm starting on page 18 (Modern Library Cairo Trilogy edition)
• The Two Towers:  I'm starting on page 166 (Ballantine).

It's going to snow later in the day, so it will be a perfect day to hunker down and read read read!

I'll check in later in the day with updates.
