Illustrated Entry
As you might have noticed, I’ve included a picture in almost all of my posts. Usually little things that were part of my read-a-thon day. So, your mini-challenge should you choose to accept it is to photograph something related to your read-a-thon experience and put it in a post w/ a caption. If you don’t have a digital camera, or it’s not working, just find something on the internet that approximates it. Or draw a cartoon in paint!
Well, I thought about this and couldn’t find anything more appropriate than this:
That just so happens to be a caffeine molecule (or, rather, a representation of one). Without the help of caffeine, I couldn’t have made it this far.
BTW, if you’re as much of a dork as I am, you can actually buy a shirt, a necklace, or a mug with this on it at Think Geek.
For somebody a bit more obsessed? You can see caffeine tattoos here, here, and here. And, of course, this is my preferred kind of caffeinated beverage (except that I prefer it out of a bottle – I can taste the can. Eww.)

I don’t drink very much soda (I used to drink a TON of it), but to me there is nothing better than an iced cold cokeinacan. It HAS to be from the can.

That is very appropriate – very clever!
And that necklace, that is too great! I may be geeky enough for that, but I think I’d probably stop short of having the caffeine molecule tatooed onto me. Methinks that would be just a tad over the top….
Keep up the great reading!

You’re doing so great! I’m so impressed with the people who’ve stayed up the WHOLE time!

Holy tattoos! Those look mighty ouchy. I posted some challenge pictures–not really symbolic of anything I’ve been reading–just me.
Oh, and the cat of course.

Yay, reader of the hour!
I love those molecule necklaces! I think I first saw them on Etsy, somewhere.
Caffeine is my friend, too; I have been known to months-long breaks from it, but I always (so far, anyway) return.

Love it! There’s nothing better than an ice cold Diet Coke and a dark chocolate bar (since the coke offsets the calories in the bar, of course). Hang in there — we’re almost done!!
