【题目】Mr. Brozina is a single father and an elementary school librarian who reads aloud for a living. When his daughter, Kristen, hit fourth grade, he proposed The Streak to see if they could read together for 100 straight bedtimes without missing once.

When The Streak reached 100, they celebrated with a pancake breakfast, and Kristen whispered "I think we should try for 1,000 nights."

Mr. Brozina was delighted, but what he was thinking was, a thousand nights? "I thought, we'll never do it" he recalled. "And then we got to 1,000, and we said, ‘How can we stop? ’"

For 3, 218 nights (and some mornings, if Mr. Brozina was coming home too late to read) The Streak went on. It progressed from picture books to middle-school classics to Harry Potter, Agatha Christie, Dickens and Shakespearecontinuing on, until Kristen's first day of college.

"The phone rang at 10:45 at the hotel and it was Kristen," Mr. Brozina recalled.
