Read-a-Thon (c. 1982/1983)

Going through some more old stuff, and came across the list of books I read for the Multiple Sclerosis Society Read-a-Thon. According to the "Book List Record", I read 35 books and had 9 sponsors. (The sponsor bit was not copied by my mom, so I do not know whether they donated per page or per book.) I also don't know how long this read-a-thon took place, but my guess is that it happened over Christmas break. Here is the list of books:

I clearly liked mystery, Encyclopedia Brown, McGurk, and The Three Investigators books appear in this list. The classics were the Great Illustrated Classics, so while the page count was almost always 238, about half of the pages were pictures.
