Title A name given to the resource Yiming Ma '27 Description An account of the resource For me, the importance of reading marathons is its transformation of a typically solitary activity into a group effort. It’s fun to breathe life into the words on a page, to perform its captured moments as you have imagined them, and see how your vision differs from other readers. I think especially at a time when people have begun to read less and less (oops), reading marathons remind us of the joy of storytelling, and the magic of reading as a social act. Even when you read alone, you still participate in a marathon with readers all around the world, reimagining the same words that have come alive for so many Participant Quotes https://hhfinals.dgah.sites.carleton.edu/reading-marathons/files/original/43ec2d2476f81222bde6dab90af2e571.jpg 5487492dd1671fdb7dd8c0ad72c666dd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource November 16th, 1994 issue of the Second Laird Miscellany Description An account of the resource Promotional material for Tristram Shandy "You know, in all of our English stuff, we have this figure of a chimney sweep. . . He's out on the walls [of second Laird]. And this goes back to a literary journal called the Carleton Miscellany that had this [imp] on the cover of that. He's a chimney sweep who was supposed to sweep away arrogance and pretension and bad writing, kind of the soot of bad writing. He's on the cake design [at reading marathons]. So . . . it's kind of like an Easter egg. And also, he's on the back of our [reading marathon] shirts. . . So we think . . . he should be as well known as Schiller at Carleton, because he's very distinctive. . . And then we [the English department] picked him up kind of as our mascot, which is which is a lot of fun because, you know, I don't think any other department has a mascot that's up on the walls and that kind of thing." -Michael Kowalewski Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Tristram Shandy 2013 Poster Description An account of the resource "So we dropped off [reading marathons] . . . for a while. And I always kind of was . . . elbowing people a little bit, especially after four years, like people don't know what it is and haven't done it. So the excitement starts to come back a little bit. And so we did that. And it came back and we did a few, and that was the Tristam Shandy that I had the t-shirt from, I think it was in 2014. And that was really fun because we had this huge snowstorm came in and it was over. I mean, . . . it kind of almost paralyzed the campus. And I remember we had to pick up the t-shirts and Tim Raylor was coming down from the cities. He was really the person who had organized Skyping in an expert from Shandy Hall in England, you know, the place where Laurence Sterne [author of Tristram Shandy] had grown up. So we had all this stuff, and he was bringing a cake down. We didn't know if he was going to make it. I was floundering through these snow drifts to go down to a t-shirt shop in downtown Northfield to make sure that we had the t-shirt. So it just added this really funny kind of thing. And then when we were in Sayles-Hill, it was really sort of beautiful." -Michael Kowalewski Tristram Shandy https://hhfinals.dgah.sites.carleton.edu/reading-marathons/files/original/34c39c83b6f67f258c5e18e18b5dddda.jpg a592e1c736a378ad10f46bcb3d762b30 https://hhfinals.dgah.sites.carleton.edu/reading-marathons/files/original/6299fcdbb3a8b7e445ba00ce11866ebc.jpg b86ae085b71eefcbaaca69a781cc1bf9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
