Mehso-so

Yeah, I'm a bit meh on this Dumas book. I'm reading it for Twitch for Black History Month (Canada) because it's one of his shortest works. The trouble with this book is that it's a slow burn, with 13 long chapters of build up to all the action in the last 7 chapters. It's hard to get invested in the tragedy of Lucien and Louis. My viewers are enjoying it, surprisingly enough. It's the forgotten basis for a pile of SFF stories, too.

Faranae Also, I'm deeply regretting the accent I gave Lucien for reading aloud. I was tired and what I pulled out for his apparently strong Corsican accent (not given an eye dialect, but mentioned), was some sort of unholy merging of my Francophone aunt's manner and accent, and a vaguely Italian accent. It's become extremely hard to maintain over multiple streams and I kind of hate it. Fortunately, there's a couple Librivox recordings to choose from. 😅 12mo
willaful I would never be able to get through this without incessant quoting from “Start the Revolution Without Me.“ 😂 12mo
Faranae @willaful Better than the Cheech and Chong film. 😂 12mo
