snack? perhaps they mean lunch, still hours off. lunch is loaded up to be tampa's signature sandwich, with chips, milk, and chocolate chip cookies. i swear, if you did even half the things they want to distract you with (snacks, for god's sake!) you'd never get any reading done! this read-a-thon thing must be amother one of those non-reader activities, like monday's book night? i'm supposed to be doing that, too, but as yet have found no non-readers to give away books to... these people sure do like their distractions. but what's it got to do with books or redding?
