Cuilin @Graciouswarriorprincess agreed though the bar is low. Lol 1y

Bookwormjillk Lol the bar is so low. Also can I lodge a complaint? A nickname should be shorter than your actual name. So hard to remember. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @Bookwormjillk lowest bar ever 🤣 1y

CatLass007 Have any of you seen the movie? I think I walked through the room when someone else was watching it. Alexei is played by William Shatner. 1y

AllDebooks @CatLass007 Absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1y

5feet.of.fury Fyodor gets worse every page. Forgot where he buried wife 2, calls her “the shrieker” 1y

currentlyreadinginCO I'm always suspicious of people who are beloved in any room that they enter, though 😂. But I do love Russian nicknames! 1y

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury in mine she‘s the wailer 🙄 1y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🎯 1y

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead yeah, not an improvement 🫠 1y

dabbe I can't remember when I've read a book where the author tells us in his opening notes that Alexei is the hero of the story numerous times as well as the narrator in the story saying the same thing, while both also say similar words like “I know you may not like him as a hero, but...“ The being-talked-to style also reminds me of the narrator in VANITY FAIR. 1y

Aimeesue @CatLass007 @AllDebooks Shatner. As Alexei? That is. Unbelievable! #TheShatnerPause 😂 (edited) 1y

CatLass007 @Aimeesue @AllDebooks I don‘t think he did that in roles other than Captain Kirk. He played Spencer Tracy‘s aide in Judgment at Nuremberg. And Denny Crane didn‘t talk that way either. 1y

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 didn‘t be kind of pause right before he said Denny Crane? Omg I can hear him in my head 🤣 1y

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead Hmm. I just remember that he liked saying his own name and hearing others say his name, especially Candice Bergen. 1y

Aimeesue @CatLass007 I‘m a Trekkie, so that‘s pretty much all I know him from. It‘s a definite thing in TOS! 1y

CatLass007 @Aimeesue Oh yes! I was raised on Star Trek. I know it‘s a thing on TOS. Years ago I had a student worker who did a great Captain Kirk impression. I never much cared for Jim Carrey‘s Kirk impression. 1y

mcctrish Between his mother wailing and holding him out for the saint to see and the den of iniquity trying to corrupt him he‘s just gonna be #holdmybeer from here on out 1y

willaful The outside, often unidentified narrator is an interesting technique we don't see a lot anymore. I wonder when it died out.

I'm seeing a possible Brothers Karamazov inspiration in Maggie Stiefvater's “Dreamers“ trilogy. Also in something else that I'm forgetting at the moment. 1y

Bklover Alexei seems a little too good to be true. And definitely not William Shatner!! @CatLass007 Oh, and I‘m still finding this book a bit funny. Is anyone else? Maybe it‘s my translation. I think I have the #dostoyevskyfordummies version. (MacAndrew). Definitely fun to read though!! 1y

CatLass007 Let‘s see… The Brothers Karamazov was released in 1958. Judgment at Nuremberg was released in 1961. So they both were several years before his Star Trek days. There was an episode of Boston Legal which featured flashbacks to Denny Crane‘s younger days. It used footage of some legal drama in which Shatner appeared. The episode involved a man taking members of the law firm hostage. Denny regrets what he did in the past. Rambling. Sorry. 1y
