Treasure Island (Collins Classics) | Robert Louis Stevenson
post image

Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: ‘Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!'

Cuilin Do I like the Count? I mean, he referred to books as friends, he‘s mannerly, obviously likes dogs, understands the plight of a stranger in a strange land, and he is an introvert not attuned to mirth!!! lol I also love the vampire lore, the not eating, the no reflection and he‘s missing during daylight hours. I‘m really enjoying this. (edited) 2mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin he seems like a really good host for the most part 2mo

mcctrish Throwing the mirror out the window was a bit harsh! How will Keanu shave now? 2mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish tragic! I definitely prefer a clean shaven Keanu 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly Yes, Count, it‘s all the mirror‘s fault! Jonathan is so vain for wanting to… *checks notes* shave without cutting himself. 😂 (edited) 2mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣 2mo
julieclair @Cuilin I‘m enjoying all the vampire lore, too. It‘s so wonderfully creepy! 2mo
rubyslippersreads So is Dracula like the Wizard of Oz? He‘s himself, but he‘s also the coach driver. And possibly the chef and the household help. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads that‘s 💯 it! 2mo
rubyslippersreads @BarkingMadRead So he‘s probably just sick of polishing mirrors, and that‘s why he threw Keanu‘s mirror out the window. 😂 2mo
mcctrish @rubyslippersreads 🤣🤣🤣 2mo

Today is #TalkLikeAPirateDay! Not necessarily a fan of pirates per se, but “pirate talk“ is both fun and ridiculous, and Treasure Island is a fantastic book that doesn't glamourise piracy. In any case, my pirate name is Cap'n Dora Bloodbeard 😎 What's yours?
