Welcome to Litsy!

Ahh the classics. What‘s your favourite? Which one have you never read, but you‘d like to. Which one would you like to read again?
My favourite is probably Jane Eyre or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn or A Little Princess or Little Women. I cut my reading teeth on the classics.
I have never read Middlemarch.
I would like to re-read Wuthering Heights.
Feel free to play along.

Moreover, he could see by her manners that she was one of those women--mostly mothers--who, having once made up their minds, will not rest until they have gained their end, and are prepared if necessary to go on insisting day after day and hour after hour, and even to make scenes. This last consideration moved him.

"If many simultaneously and variously directed forces act on a given body, the direction which that body will take cannot be the course of any one of the forces individually – it will always follow an intermediate, as it were, shortest path, or what is represented in mechanics by the diagonal of a parallelogram of forces." – Tolstoy at it again with the physics metaphors

My stack of books and dvds for the next two months to wait out COVID plus the stuff in my backpack and on my tablet. I‘m preparing for the worst case scenario and hoping for the best (and yes, I‘ll have to bring it ALL back again). A reader is always prepared. Don‘t worry the cooler is only for food from my fridge I‘m taking up. Yes there are books in the suitcase. #havebookswilltravel

I loved this ❤ Can't believe I've never read this before now, my mum had all his books when I was younger. So beautifully written.

1) probably the only way to get this read
2) both - prefer woollen socks when it's cold but love to go barefoot most of the time.
3) 2.500m(?) in the Alps
4) seafood
5) don't think so

Rainy day means copious amounts of tea and reading.

It seems Zelda approves of my reading-nook-in-progress. 😻 Chair from my mom. Tolstoy throw cushion from RedBubble via a gift card from my best friend.

I just need to declutter and move some things and I will have a lovely reading spot. I will post pics when it‘s done.

Picked these up on Kindle as, you know, don't want to risk having nothing to read....Slightly ashamed to admit that with a Masters in English Lit I've yet to read these classics.....ah well there's still time before I die ha ha 😰😱🙃

This is how I live my life, with a huge pile of books on hand!

I'm thinking my first Audiobook I'll be listening to during my housework will be War and Peace. It's my all time favorite work of classic literature, yet I have never heard the audiobook version. There's always a first for everything!

A favorite episode of It‘s Always Sunny in Philadelphia ! #sunnyread #riotgrams #gar
