Daisey Keep me on the #WhatTheDickens list, but I‘m probably going to pass on this one for now. I‘ve got a busy June and committed to the Kristin Lavransdatter read. 2d

I love Dickens‘ personification in his stories. It‘s what made me first love his writing. And here we go, what‘s that crazy mud up to this time?

I can forgive Dickens for interminably long sentences because look at this beauty! It‘s so gorgeously crafted and delivers a soft powerful punch there at the end. I love this man.

Consider this a preview of things to come reading our next book for #whattheDickens ! @Cuilin

I‘m starting this audiobook today to get a head start on our next read for #whattheDickens in June. @Cuilin

Cuilin As I was organizing a reminder post yesterday, I was thinking Karen will have this finished by the end of June and now I think you might have it finished by the end of May lol. Enjoy, I can‘t wait to hear what you think. 6d

Cuilin I will listen to this one too, because I love Juliet Stevenson as a narrator. 6d

Texreader @Cuilin She‘s brilliant! And I only wish u could read/listen that quickly! This book is 40 hours long! 🤣 5d

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby | Charles Dickens

pick

I read this back in Feb/March with #WhattheDickens and then never got around to reviewing it!

In classic Dickens fashion, he spins an engaging, wide-ranging story, full of implausible coincidences and over-the-top caricatures of supporting characters. There are so many characters here that I love: from Nicholas and Kate to Smike and Miss La Creevy, Newman Noggs and the Cheeryble brothers. ⤵️

Cuilin, Texreader

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) I enjoyed this, but couldn‘t help but compare it with David Copperfield as I read—and I kept trying to figure out why I like DC better. I liked Nicholas and Kate much better than I liked David—David is so frustratingly naive, and Nicholas and Kate are far more self-aware and grounded. Many of the supporting characters (Mrs. Nickleby in particular, but also the Kenwigs and the theater troupe) were grating rather than amusing or lovable. ⤵️ (edited) 1w

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) I did find the Mantalinis ridiculous and hilarious (I frequently find myself saying “demn‘d” and “demnable” now), so there‘s that. But overall, the stakes felt higher and more serious here—and I think that combination of serious and silly just jerked me around a little too much.

Texreader Excellent review!! I loved this book and don‘t necessarily agree but I can absolutely see where you‘re coming from. Nicely said all the way around!! 1w

The Complete Works of Charles Dickens | Charles Dickens

I went to Audible looking for something else this morning and stumbled across this upcoming release. I tend to use the library or Serial Reader for most classics, but I also appreciate making the most of my credits with collections so I preordered. This collection featuring several narrators will be released in the middle of June.

Cuilin This is absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for sharing. Is it the same narrator for all novels or are there different narrators? 2w

Daisey @Cuilin It includes multiple narrators, I‘ll go back and edit to include that. 2w

Texreader Oooh thanks for sharing this!! 2w

llwheeler Wow, how long must that audio be?? Definitely making the most of a credit! 2w

Daisey @llwheeler It actually doesn‘t include a length yet. 🤷‍♀️ There is a 10 novel collection that is 264 hours. It used to be that I had audiobooks I could download in parts on Audible, but that doesn‘t seem to still be the case. This would be one where I‘d like to just download a novel at a time. 2w

dabbe He only wrote 15 novels? 😳 I thought it was more like 100! 🤩 2w

Daisey @dabbe It does seem like it sometimes when you‘re working your way through them! 😆 2w
