#ThreeListThursday

Not great especially since 6 of them are DNF‘s.

I have the 2006 version of the book and have read/dnf‘d 24. In my version, and not on the survey, are Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, A Christmas Carol, Alice‘s Adventures in Wonderland, Little Women, War and Peace, Anna Karenina and Tess of the D‘Urbervilles. It‘s hard to imagine that these didn‘t make the list.

Classics are hit or miss for me but have added some to Mt TBR

dabbe Oh, I don't think we're done with the 1800s yet. We just hit the earlier ones. I bet those will be in next week's survey. 🙏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT @TheSpineView

Oof, yeah nah. And my score would have been way lower if not for Austen!

TheSpineView I didn't do that great either. 6d
dabbe You're in great company; most of us scored around that. We'll all improve once we get into the dang 1900s! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

Faves: tagged
Pride and Prejudice
Frankenstein

I‘ve read and really liked David Copperfield. I expect to read Dickens‘ other books this year for #whattheDickens and I‘ll probably read Mansfield Park someday

I recently bought The Three Musketeers so I‘m looking forward to that one

Not a huge fan of the books I read in high school and college: The Scarlet Letter and Candide

ChaoticMissAdventures I really really struggled years ago when I read with 6d
dabbe I was surprised GREAT EX wasn't on the list, but I adored BLEAK HOUSE. I'm still working through NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 6d

Thank you for the tag @dabbe . 😊 My three are books that I have read with the #HashtagBrigade and probably would not have picked up otherwise! 😃

Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

I‘m counting Floss because I‘m currently reading it with #hashtagbrigade and it has to count for something! I did start Ivanhoe that‘s on this list but I‘ve barely touched it so I left it off #TLT #Threelistthursday

Ruthiella I think it‘s fair to count The Mill on the Floss. 👍 6d
mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 6d
dabbe I counted MILL, too! And I've started and restartee IVANHOE I don't know how many times. It's a wee hard to get into. 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💜💚 6d
mcctrish @dabbe maybe hashtag will read Ivanhoe and that will be the kick in the pants I need (edited) 6d
dabbe @mcctrish Not a bad idea! We should add that one the next time voting comes around! 6d

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

In addition to Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, I also enjoyed The Last of the Mohicans. This was a difficult one this week.

Play? @Kshakal @BethM @rretzler @Lauredhel @CaroPi

BkClubCare Yeah,… no. I read the first few pages of Last of the Mohicans and decided “the movie is better” (I could be wrong, could maybe someday try again!) 6d
BethM I can‘t with classical lit 😆I‘m off to take it now! 6d
TheSpineView @BethM I took a Romantic literature class in college 6d

@Dabbe Finally a #ThreeListThursday that i can do well on! I've only been reading books from this list for ten years 🙄

I'm tagging Gulliver's travels. After buying a FOURTH copy of it, I realized I needed an online record of what books I own and started my book social media journey (godreads-->librarything-->Litsy)

I read Dangerous Liason on the beach, enjoyed it.
I read Tale of Genji on the subway, loved it
And I still haven't read GT 😂

Ruthiella Wow!🤩 6d
TheBookHippie Yay!!!!! Someone who reads what I do!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 6d

Daisey That‘s an impressive score! I was pretty happy with 39 from this part of the list and immediately wondered how you might score. 22h
Liz_M @Readerann I love lists and have been diligently reading a couple dozen a year from this one for quite a while.😊 20h
Liz_M @Daisey I've been impressed with your continued dedication to this list. 20h

I chose the poetry class over the lit class for this era in college. 🤣 Random thoughts:
💚 I was one of the only people in my class who loved Candide when we read it in high school. This still baffles me.
🩵 I saw the netflix series based on House of Usher, and it was so strange. I really want to read the story now.
💙 I hadn't heard of A Dream of Red Mansions before today, and now it's on my tbr.
#tlt #threelistthursday @dabbe

Ruthiella I read Candide in college for a French History class and loved it! 6d
dabbe “House of Usher“ is one of my faves of Poe. You'll love it! If you get a chance to see the campy movie by Roger Corman from the 1960s, that's a fun one, too. It stars Vincent Price as Roderick Usher. You can see it free on YouTube! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEbH7mZ8Vk
