Some were contemplating, some were flipping through books quickly, some were reading with their heads buried, and some were reading while taking notes. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet , all the bustle, hustle and bustle and temptation have been far away, only the rustling of flipping books.
This reading marathon has four tracks: Red Classic Track, Nobel Prize Literature Track, Youth Book Track and Science Fantasy Track. Each track corresponds to a different book. The title of the book will not be announced in advance. In a group, each person in the group chooses a track.
