So I finished up "Cheap" and I have to say it opened my eyes. I can't say that I will ever look at Ikea in the same light. I also gained some new insight into what is going on in China. This is the perfect lead-in to Book number 2, J. Maarten Troost's "Lost on Planet China". Troost is a most delightful writer and I have already devoured the first chapter. I highly recommend all of his books and hope that this one is as entertaining and informative as "Sex Lives of Cannibals" and "Getting Stoned with Savages"The Third hour mini-challenge is a six word celebration of Dewey's Readathon so here goes: fulfilling Dewey's book-elicious legacy of reading! (sorry, I made up a word)
TALLY for the last hour
Pages read: 67
Consumed: last of the E-mart Potato Snacks (really quite disgusting but addictive)

(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
Just as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.
By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.
Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.
For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
