25th Hour
25th Hour | David Benioff
19 posts | 9 read | 12 to read
All Monty Brogan ever really wanted when he grew up was to be a fireman. Now he's about to start a seven-year stretch in the federal penitentiary for drug dealing. With just twenty-four hours of freedom to go, he prowls the city with his girlfriend and his two best friends from high school-a high-flying bond trader and an idealistic teacher. As the minutes count down, Monty seizes one last chance to stack the odds in his favor. Hurtling from the money pits of Wall Street to Manhattan's downtown lounge and club scene, from the enclaves of the Russian mob to the old immigrant neighborhoods, 25th Hour evokes the pulsing rhythms and diamond-hard edges of a city in the raw, illusory hours between midnight and dawn. A taut and mesmerizing tale of an urban purgatory suspended between the crime and the punishment, 25th Hour heralds the arrival of a major player in contemporary noir fiction. For more on this spectacular movie event, visit the 25th Hour web site.

I didn‘t realize Game of Thrones co-creator wrote books before his tv showrunning gig 😳

Day 2 of the #25inFive #25in5 Readathon.
Although only 6pm That is most probably the end of my reading on Day 2 (work calls). Managed 5 hours 39 today, making a grand total of 10 hrs 48 mins altogether which I‘m pleased with. Hope to have more time for reading tomorrow, but only if I get the work done tonight!!!

How is everyone else doing?

We still have the joys of hopefully more reading time over the weekend to come.

CrowCAH Making slow progress, just over two hours. Hopefully I‘ll be able to catch up on the weekend. 7y
Andrew65 @CrowCAH It‘s a good start. 😊 7y
Crazeedi 4 hrs. yesterday 7y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi That‘ a very good start! 😊 7y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 I'm planning on more today! It's so cold and snowy/raining that I don't want to do anything else 7y
Librariana Prepping for interview 😁 Will resume with #25infive progress after 😄 Maybe I can even catch up this weekend! 7y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Blowing a freezing gale here! Much better tucked up with a book. 7y
Andrew65 @Librariana Good luck with that interview, you can do it! 👍😊 7y
looseleafbooks That‘s a good dent in your hours! Congrats! (edited) 7y
Andrew65 @looseleafbooks Thanks, did better than I expected to do today. Was determined! 😊 7y
Melissa_J You‘re doing well! 7y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J Thanks I‘ve finished the work now, may be 11.55pm here but set up for some more reading. 👍 7y

No!!!!!!
So, I thought I was on top of this tracking your reading... I thought i would log in this morning and post my awesome screenshot of my 3ish hours yesterday.... But... In my delirium last night i must have cleared the time 😭😭😭😭
I'm so not good at this stuff lol #25in5

Andrew65 Oh no! Just record the time manually as close to what you can remember from yesterday and add any further time onto this. I remember somebody saying they‘d reset their clock during the 24in48 Challenge. 😊 7y
cj82487 @Andrew65 Yea thats what I was going to do. I just thought I was on a roll because I actually remembered to hit the timer during the day yesterday while i was reading. I'm going to blame it on my phone... Yea my phone did it lol 7y
Andrew65 Bad phone, naughty phone 😂 7y

Ok... I'm horrible at keeping track of how much time I spend reading, but I'll give this a try.
Also, I wish this would have started yesterday because I had a very relaxing read-pretty-much-all-day kinda day. Oh Well 😊 #24in5

Andrew65 Welcome aboard 😊 7y

Andrew65 @Sassy_Steph Yes it is 25 hours in 5 days. 7y
Andrew65 @Cinfhen I‘m also on vacation but need to fit in around doing some work ready for Monday and a 250 Mile drive bit can listen to an audiobook then. 7y

This is my planned booklist for the #25inFive Challenge, where aiming to read 25 hours over 5 days from today until Monday night. Do feel free to join in, it is taking place on Instagram but some of us thought we‘d do our own one on Litsy for anyone not on Instagram. Please feel free to join in using the hashtag #25inFive. Thanks @Ashley_Nicoletto for the original post. 👍

Should be fun and a super relaxed challenge for us Littens.

Leniverse I'm not on Instagram but I'll join here! 7y
CocoReads Nice list. I don‘t really have any planned ones. But I was up in the middle of the night and got some reading in, about an hour I‘d guess. I‘ll just chime in when I finish something. This might be a good opportunity to finish the multiple books I‘ve had started. 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Great choices. I'll have to pick mine after work tonight. @Leniverse 🙌🏼 Yay! The more the merrier! 7y

Andrew65 @Leniverse Yay! Great to have you with us. 👍 7y
Andrew65 @CocoReads @CocoReads Two of these are as part of Buddy Reads. The Music Shop and BearTown #BOTMBuddyRead #BuddyRead 7y
Andrew65 @Ashley_Nicoletto I look forward to seeing it. 😊 7y
Leniverse Just to be clear, have we started? @Ashley_Nicoletto 7y
Andrew65 @Leniverse Yes, start anytime you are ready. 😊 @Ashley_Nicoletto (edited) 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto @Leniverse Yes! I believe in insta it runs from 12 am ok Sunday through 11:59 pm on Monday! I haven't personally started because sleep. 😂😂 But I will this morning. 7y
Miss_Kim I‘ll join! 7y
wanderinglynn Fantastic choices! I want to read both Beartown & The Music Shop. 😀 7y
Leniverse Cool! Well, I'm stuck in an amusement park that cater mainly to the under 10. My 11-y/o is a great sport going on the rides with her younger brother while I pretend I'm on only my phone to take incessant pics of them. I can sneak in some reading. 7y
Andrew65 @Leniverse 😂 Enjoy the ride! 7y
Andrew65 @wanderinglynn You should check out the Buddy Reads, which are taking place across the month of April and are both very laid back and great fun. They add so much to the reading experience. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @jess7 @thebookhippie (edited) 7y
Andrew65 @Miss_Kim Great to have you with us! 😊👍 7y
Andrew65 @Ashley_Nicoletto That Sleep is a nuisance isn‘t it. 😂 💤 7y
AceOnRoam Oh, I've missed a whole day since it's nearly the 6th here already. I'll have to do #25infour 😄 7y
AceOnRoam Great books you have selected! 7y
Andrew65 @AceOnRoam Thanks 😊, Good luck with your #25inFour ! 😂 7y
AceOnRoam @Andrew65 😂😂😂 thanks. I'm tempted to drop everything and read 7y
Andrew65 @AceOnRoam I‘m leaving that for Saturday Read for the discussion on Sunday. 7y
CareBear I love Fredrik Backman and blew through (edited) 7y
Andrew65 @CareBear That‘s great to hear, especially as I have access to the whole trilogy. 7y
RaimeyGallant First time I saw this, I thought 25 books in five days, and I thought, whoever can do that is my hero. 7y
Andrew65 @RaimeyGallant 😂 I think it would need to be 25 very small comics! They‘d also be my hero. 7y

@Ashley_Nicoletto brought my attention to #25inFive that‘s happening on Insta but I like Litsy better so a few of us are doing it here instead. 25 hours of reading in 5 days should be fun for us Littens, right? No pressure, just jump in with your books. Thanks @Andrew65 for the tag

A few people have posted about the #25inFive Challenge on Instagram. I know some Littens aren‘t on Instagram so we thought we‘d do our own #25inFive Challenge on Litsy. No formalities, if you want to join in just post over the next 5 days (Thurs - Mon) with the books you‘re reading as part of the challenge & occasional totals of the hours you have got to over the 5 days. Super casual!
25 hours in five days.

Please repost this to share the news👍

Andrew65 If you post anything for the 25inFive Challenge please use the #25inFive hashtag. Thanks @Ashley_Nicoletto for bringing this to our attention! 👍🙌😍 (edited) 7y

GarthRanzz I‘ll try to join in. Just not sure I have enough brain cells left for reading after work lately. 😊 7y
Andrew65 @GarthRanzz You‘d be very welcome, might be the escape you need from work by the sound of it. I sympathise, have had a few tough weeks at work recently and Litsy, Littens and books have been my sanity! You need to choose some easy reading books. 😊 (edited) 7y
GarthRanzz Might be a good chance to catch up on my comics. 😊 7y
Andrew65 @GarthRanzz Sounds like a plan! 😊 7y
Bklover Oooh fun idea! 7y

Not up to the quality of City of Thieves or his Game of Thrones writing. But it did have successful movie made of it.

claffy_reads How disappointing! City of Thieves was fantastic. 7y
