Frankenstein | Mary Shelley

My next Toastmasters speech will be based on one of the many themes on humanity found in my favorite book, #frankenstein

Texreader You‘re in Toastmasters? How awesome! I was in it for many many years 31m

IriDas @Texreader Yes, I just joined last year. It‘s been really helpful. Pretty sure it helped me finally get a job after a year of unemployment. 10m

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

pick

When I was reading Wuthering Heights, I felt a sense of a dark, 🌩🌌stormy night, gloomy candlelight🕯, and vivid illustrations that made it all play out like a movie in my mind.Heathcliff‘s this deep, messed-up guy you just can‘t forget, and Catherine‘s torn between what she feels and what the world expects. Their love is wild, complicated, and kinda haunting.
❤️❤️

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 11h

dabbe To be the only student ... YIKES! And (gasp) Tom behaves like a girl and actually has his hubris stomped on a little bit. I think it's a good lesson for him--even though his actual lessons are 😱! 1d

KAO Whew. That chapter was rather long and somewhat tedious (though I liked the bit of life reflection in the last lines). Maybe the feeling that this chapter would never end parallels Tom‘s feeling about this long and tedious academic term. 1d

TheAromaofBooks I actually found myself liking Tom for the first time in this chapter. 1d

Bookwormjillk I‘ll admit it. It‘s Monday. I skimmed. 1d

Morr_Books I wish I had learned more languages when I was younger, but Latin was never one of them 12h

SILAS MARNER The Weaver of Raveloe | George Eliot

I remember reading this in school. I thought it was wonderful back then and I'm glad I've just read it again as an adult.

Dilara Wonderful! I read Silas Marner for the first time 4 years ago and found it extremely moving.
Welcome to Litsy, by the way... 2d

BookmarkTavern I loved this one too! Welcome to Litsy! 🎉🎉🎉 2d

anton791 @Dilara Thanks. I read a lot and am glad to be able to share in some way. 2d

Last of the Mohicans | James Fenimore Cooper

so-so

I had a hard time with this book. It did not hold my attention well through long sections, then something rather bizarre or violent would happen and I‘d get caught up in the story again for a while. It also took a long time to get the characters straight.

When I finished, I did listen to a podcast episode that discussed a few aspects and gave me a bit more to think about. (Link in comments)
