Post a song that reminds you of the read-a-thon, or that you love to read to, or that makes you think of a particular book. You can either embed a video of the song, or post the lyrics.
I typically listen to classical music when I'm settling in for a good, long reading session. Anything else interrupts my focus--'cause I have to sing along if there are lyrics. And lately I'm finding that even classical music can interrupt my reading when I stop to admire the way the composer figured out how to make me feel a certain way with just a few notes.
So I am going to post a song that, every time I hear it, reminds me of Christopher Pike's Scavenger Hunt. I can't say I was crazy about the book, but it's been 15+ years since I read it--I've only read it once--and this song never fails to make me think of all the creepy craziness in that book. I don't even remember what the craziness was exactly. I think it had to do with monsters/dinosaurs. But it doesn't matter, really, because REM's "Losing My Religion" totally makes me think of that book every time I hear it.

Good ole REM! I haven't read the book, but I used to love REM. Not that I don't like them now, but music seemed so important then. I didn't have time to participate as a reader this weekend, but I signed up to cheer and to host a mini challenge (in 15 minutes!). Way to go on all of your reading so far!!
i haven't read that book but I'll keep that book in mind and the song too!
Anyways I can't believe you've gone this far--keep it up!
