For the decade 1962-71 for #thebigjubileereadinglist and for the #travelthroughbooks challenge (set in Australia) I selected this story. For me it‘s a bold choice to not have a solid ending. I still found this classic to be an interesting read and I truly thought the characters truly made the story. #springread #classicbook

Taking #thehobbit with me tomorrow to the hospital as my son is being evicted from my womb...#sorryiamnotsorry 🤰

Tolkien's world has always given me a sense of comfort and this will always be a favorite that I hope to share with my sons as they grow older.

So lange liegt das Buch schon auf meinem SUB. Immer wieder angefangen und doch wieder weggelegt... Aber nun bin ich bereit und es geht gut voran und ich Frage mich, warum ich es nicht schon wieder viel eher aufgegriffen habe.
Habt ihr es gelesen? Mögt ihr den Film mit Hugh Jackman und Anne Hathaway genau so gerne wie ich?

Buechersuechtling Oh ja, den mochte ich wirklich sehr. Aber nachdem ich als Jugendliche das Musical stellenweise auswendig konnte und später halt den Film gesehen habe, weiß ich nicht, ob ich für das Buch nicht zu voreingenommen bin, weil ich all die Bilder im Kopf habe. Wahrscheinlich schreckt mich vorm Lesen die Furcht vor der altmodischen Sprache ab – und ein bisschen wohl auch der Umfang. 4y
Saari84 @Buechersuechtling vor der Sprache brauchst du dich gar nicht zu fürchten. Es ist wirklich einfach zu lesen. Bei Victor Hugo muss man aber manchmal ein paar Seiten Überblättern, weil er dann doch zu ausschweifend wird wie z. B. bei dem Glöckner von Notre-Dame. Da waren mir die ganzen Paris Beschreibungen einfach zu viel, vielleicht nett für jemanden der dort aufgewachsen ist. Dennoch ist auch das Werk von ihm sehr zu empfehlen! 4y

Pride | Ibi Zoboi
post image

On Wednesday's episode, we discussed the works of Ibi Zoboi, including Pride, her retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I've been a fan of retellings of classics for a long time--here are a few of my favorites . . . except for Re Jane, which is high on my TBR list!⠀

What retellings would you recommend?

"He had known what love was – a sharp pang, a fierce experience, in the midst of whose flames he was struggling! but, through that furnace he would fight his way out into the serenity of middle age, – all the richer and more human for having known this great passion."

"If work's sure and steady theer, labour's paid at starvation prices; while here we'n rucks o' money coming in one quarter, and ne'er a farthing th' next. For sure, th' world is in a fettling, and who's to fettle it, if it's as yon folks say, and there's nought but what we see?"
