Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of I Love Lucy too! 😂 4h
TheAromaofBooks So was Rebecca's intent to GOAD Maxim into murdering her ON PURPOSE??? Also, side note, I'm just not sure what I would do if my husband confessed to killing his first wife, no matter how terrible she was. I'm not confident I would be as “obviously I love you and will stay with you“ as our narrator is! 😂 4h
kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks I would have trouble with that too! 4h
kwmg40 The doctor offered them cigarettes and sherry! What doctor would do that these days? It was a different time! 4h
Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks yeah, I don‘t think that would have the same effect on me as it had on Jan. 3h
peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks yeah it seemed like Rebecca's way of taking him down with her, not realizing he would get away with it 3h
peanutnine The narrator is so desperate to be loved that she'll overlook some HUGE red flags. She's so worried about what others think of her, she can't imagine leaving him even for a good reason 3h
IndoorDame Totally agree about both of them! If Rebecca wants to off herself, go for it, but suicide by proxy totally makes her an #evilbitch And Jan staying with her husband who‘s perfect except for the whole I‘m a murderer thing is just nuts, like I‘m worried the girl has no basic self preservational instincts! 2h
5feet.of.fury I was so surprised by the doctor‘s report. What the heck? But, it gives everyone a good reason to believe the suicide… 2h
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes to everything you said! Rebecca is evil and Jan is not a great decision-maker. 😂 38m

Bookwormjillk That was a little too Silence of the Lambs for me. 1mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🫨 agreed. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Seriously, is there a SINGLE character in this book who is not completely batshit insane?! What was the point of this chapter?!?!??? I'm starting to feel like *I* am the crazy one! 😂 1mo
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks it‘s all so crazy! My head is spinning 🤣 1mo
TheBookHippie @TheAromaofBooks was it winter in Russia and all they did was drink while writing ???? Or is this a test to see if we will read anything ?! 1mo
Aimeesue Gotta say, the audio version really made her sound delusional 1mo
mcctrish I read this and thought 1. Lise needs friends 2. I can hear True Blood‘s theme song Bad Things 🎶 I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you. 🎶 3. FD is some serious anti-Semite 4. This book is insane can we be done
1mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish Omg my husband and I are watching this right now! And so so true 🤣 1mo
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Lise gives off serious creepy disturbed song vibes 1mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish oh my word the antisemitism 😞 1mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I haven‘t felt so shocked or sickened very often - nonfiction for sure but fiction?! WTF 1mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish honestly I‘m finishing out of spite. 😵‍💫🫨😝 1mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Me, too! I feel like we've been wading in the shit like Andy Dufresne in SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, and we're in it until we get out of prison like Dmitri! 😃💩😱 1mo
dabbe Liza's mom was off her rocker, too. And she can't shut up! 🤐😂😃 1mo
Ruthiella @dabbe Exactly! The apple 🍎 did not fall far. 🦇 💩 🤪 (edited) 1mo
Ruthiella I wonder if William P. Blatty was inspired by this chapter? 🤔😈 1mo

Bookwormjillk Total @Aimeesue vibes 1mo
mcctrish What blows my mind is FD just fast forwarded 2 months and only subjected us to random children for a few chapters. Girding his loins for the court room drama? Will Ivan get to be his windbag self ? #Incoherentrambles Grigory and the red herring of the open door throws the whole crime 1mo
dabbe @mcctrish Dare I even think that those children chapters were the COMIC relief before the trial? 😱 1mo
dabbe Good question, @BarkingMadRead How many chapters will the trial be? As long as the chapters are kept short ... 😂 1mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe omg I didn‘t even think of that. 1mo
Aimeesue Ha! I love it! 1mo
5feet.of.fury I‘m catching up (again) so glad to be seemingly hopefully back to the plot 🙃 1mo

CatLass007 Good gracious! 2mo
BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 the kids were saying babies were born in a cabbage patch 🤣 2mo
CatLass007 @TheBookHippie Ha! Completely true. 2mo
mcctrish Kostya sounds like an old man when he speaks and yet doesn‘t seem to know where babies come from?! I‘m just glad Agafya got back from the market, I was seriously thinking the next chapter would be all about the chickadees death by cannon 2mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I hope that wasn‘t foreshadowing 🤣 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - ME TOO 😂 Like why is he loading a canon before leaving them alone!? And the little girl with all her questions about how to shoot it off - NOT SUSPICIOUS 😆 2mo
Bookwormjillk I‘m not usually one for abridged books, but it might have been a good choice here just saying. 2mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk if ever in the world there was a need for an abridged book, this here is the poster child 2mo
Aimeesue Hey, any chapter with a trained dog is OK by me! 2mo
Aimeesue @TheAromaofBooks Lol, BOOM 💥 2mo
Ruthiella @Aimeesue Hoping against hope that the dog shows up in your next scene! ❤️🐶🤞 2mo

Bookwormjillk I remembered what I was thinking about yesterday. The guy just died and everyone shows up looking for a miracle. #AnEldersWorkIsNeverDone 2mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk And how dare his body decompose? That means he was just human after all. #hisbodyreeks 2mo
CatLass007 My Mom had a book called The Incorruptibles. It was about saints whose bodies supposedly didn‘t decompose. I looked at some of the pictures and the bodies were pretty desiccated. I couldn‘t figure out what all the fuss was about. 2mo

mcctrish First, to quote Taylor Swift 🎶 you need to calm down, you‘re being too loud🎶 enough with the hysteria! Also me “ OMG, that‘s why the kid bit him” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so satisfying, something making sense 3mo

Ruthiella I thought it was hilarious when Mrs. Coca Cola tells Lise to stop shouting and then realizes SHE‘S the one shouting. 😆 What a madhouse! 3mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish was so happy when the finger biting episode was explained and I kind of knew who everyone was when they were explaining it 🤣 3mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella it‘s hard not to get swept away with the yelling 🤣🤣 3mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s so not like FD to introduce someone and then proceed to talk about them in the next chapter 🤯 3mo
Ruthiella @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk Yeah, FD must have had a brief moment of lucidity when writing that chapter! 🤣 3mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella no 🍄🍄 3mo

5feet.of.fury So obsessed with Grushenka. I say this a lot, but this chapter was really chaotic lol 3mo
See All 13 Comments
mcctrish Absolute chaos @5feet.of.fury and because FD loves wind bag speeches that go on and on and say nothing, I feel like Fyodor will die tonight having promised to say something and yet not #cuzthatshowweroll 3mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was thinking the same thing! We will never know what he wanted to say, and why he didn‘t want Ivan to know! 3mo
dabbe This pic says it all. 🤩😍😂 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Do you think the fact that the author gave his own name to the most obnoxious (debatable) character means anything?? 3mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish yup expecting a funeral for Pops tomorrow (not a spoiler just no expectations of this chaos getting resolved.) 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO I was wondering that, too! @TheAromaofBooks . I wonder how common the name Fyodor was at the time ... I feel like there are never that many Russian first names in novels and so it might not be that odd to have a namesake character? 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @currentlyreadinginCO - I keep thinking about the way Jane Austen created the most beautiful, kind, sweet, universally-loved character in P&P... and named her Jane 😂 3mo

Cuilin This should be a mini series, I would eat all the 🍿 with my 👀 glued to the tv. So dad and M love G. But M is engaged to K whom I is in love with. Who will Alexie fall for? 🍿🍿🍿 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin let‘s just make it a family thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ they can all love her. Well, not pops, but #thebros 3mo
Ruthiella Awesome picture! Is there a graphic novel, I wonder? 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I‘m not sure. This was in a blog about the book, but the link for credit was dead 3mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella 😳 Graphic novel would be amazing!! 3mo
TheBookHippie This is old school soap opera Dallas & Dynasty 😂😂😂😅 3mo
Bookwormjillk Holy Jerry Springer Batman. Dysfunctional with a capital D. 3mo
Graciouswarriorprincess The graphic novel is available on Kindle Unlimited. 3mo
mcctrish This is so old school soap opera @TheBookHippie it‘s funny its so melodramatic 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO Alyosha will save the day, though! 😂 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO & Smerdyakov should be in the graphic! 😂 3mo
mcctrish Is it weird that every time I see the word Smerdyakov I see Schmigadoon? 3mo

CatLass007 I‘m still wondering what is going on and what‘s next. When will something actually happen? I‘m going to allow #thebros chapters 7 and 8 of this section, and I will decide on Sunday if I want to continue. 3mo
Bookwormjillk Today‘s chapter was much better than yesterday‘s but I‘m confused why they needed to air all this dirty laundry in front of a bunch of random monks and an elder. 3mo
Ruthiella @IndoorDame 🤣 @Bookwormjillk I‘m confused too. Was the Elder supposed to referee or adjudicate? If so, what is the significance of his actions, kneeling before Dimitry? 3mo
5feet.of.fury Who else googled “anthropophagy”? Or was that not in everyone‘s translation 😂 3mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury either that wasn‘t in my translation or I glazed over it somehow 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead there‘s a lot to glaze over in this argument between Ivan & Dmitri. I think I‘ve given up on understanding the subtext & tried to settle for just understanding the individual words 😂 3mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame this chapter was absolutely high court drama aka Judge Judy and yes @5feet.of.fury I did 😳 Fyodor is a piece of work imo #potcallingthekettleblack 3mo
IndoorDame @5feet.of.fury I did 😬 there are some words I didn‘t need to know we had in English 3mo
Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I googled anthropophagy too! I assume it was ancestors worship and was startled to find it meant cannibalism .😱🤢 3mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame @mctrish I also got Jerry Springer vibes! Lol 3mo
IndoorDame @Cuilin hahaha 💯! 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - for REAL 😂 3mo
