Here are my results:
What books did you read/finish? I read just one book, Cormac McCarthy's masterful All the Pretty Horses. I started reading early in the morning Saturday, went to bed when sentences no longer made sense, and finished the novel this morning. I am absolutely in awe of McCarthy's prose, and am seriously considering creating a shrine to him in my home. My review will be posted soon.
What did you like about the event? I loved that the Readathon was low-key and low-stress, and I loved the conversations in comments and on twitter. Oh, and I loved the reading! Also, my first book of 2013 was one of the books on my list for The Classics Club!
Suggestions for future Readathons? Anything that focuses on the classics. I really liked the fact that this Readathon was so open-ended, and didn't have too many rules or requirements.
Would you participate in future Readathons? In a word-yes!

Yes! to everything you said. It was a lovely way to spend the day.
I've contemplated McCormack but have yet to take the plunge...your comments have encouraged me :-)
I thought that All the Pretty Horses was a really great book as well. I read it earlier this year for my book club. I didn't do much readathon reading at all, but I did read and few pages of Infinite Jest, and some Harry Potter.
