The Nine Cloud Dream | Kim Man-Jung

I meant to read this for #FoodandLit #SouthKorea but never did! I was slightly apprehensive about keeping people & events straight (it is a 17th-c. novel with stories inside stories). It's still early days, but it's been fine so far. Even fun! The end-notes are quite helpful...

Butterfinger It's so pretty. 2h

mcctrish Poor Archer, he has to pretend to work for a living and the GALL of Ellen taking 3 days to respond to his note AND make no note of the time she took! #nobodyisfollowingtherules 5h

tpixie @Cuilin 🥳💙🤍❤️🥳 6h
tpixie @TheBookHippie Yes!!! 💙🤍❤️. lol I‘m still in mid June, but hoping I get some reading in today & tomorrow while my youngest daughter & her 5 kids are at school/daycare. I‘m visiting helping them because her husband has had knee surgery (#3 @32yo!!) . Today‘s first day of school. Now I wish I took off next week too because I don‘t see how they‘re going to do it. He still is doing too much. ❤️‍🩹 6h
TheBookHippie @tpixie oh that is rough. My sister in love is having #2 she‘s only 47 ! Its recovery is awful. 6h
dabbe 💙🤍♥️ 5h
tpixie @TheBookHippie yes! I suspect especially in young people because they still have so many child and Work obligations. As opposed to a retiree with a total knee…. Retirees are busy, but usually don‘t have a gazillion people living with them needing them. (edited) 5h

lil1inblue Archer wants to kiss Ellen's ribbon. 🤣🤣🤣 I can't get that out of my head for some reason. Also, I had to look into the symbolism of yellow roses. Apparently, in the Victorian Era they were associated with jealousy and betrayal. 🤔 23h
dabbe @lil1inblue Ooh, that's interesting! 💛🏵️💛 22h

mcctrish I laughed out loud at archer wants to kiss Ellen‘s ribbon @lil1inblue that is serious code for kink 22h
lil1inblue @mcctrish OMG. I did not even realize what I said. 🙃🙃🙃 But I guess it fits, too. We know what Archer really wants. 🤣🤣🤣 #ithasbeenalongday 22h
Clare-Dragonfly Did he get her to drop the divorce??? They keep saying “I know what you mean” “you know what I mean” and I am concerned they‘re talking about total opposite things. 22h
Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly I am also unsure if they really communicated there. Archer takes her silence for an admission of an extramarital affair. But what if she was just being quiet? 21h

It‘s happy reading hour with a Wisconsin beer in the Wisconsin woods, with Dostoevsky in a screen tent. There must be a relevant connection within the 900 pages.

I have the necessary choice of bug spray or a screen tent. Today it‘s the tent. 🦟🦟

lil1inblue That looks absolutely blissful! 🤩 23h
Amiable I think my blood pressure dropped several points just looking at this scene. 😍 23h

I finished Part 3 with unabashed tears streaming down my face and my husband sitting next to me giving me The Look I get when I'm being a little ridiculous. I managed to choke out, "It's futile but beautiful!" and really, I can't give a better encapsulation than that. It ended as it must, as I knew it would, and the novel's great world went on spinning - characters moving forward and a new snow falling. But I'll stay thinking about it for years.

BarbaraJean 💜💜💜 I‘m so looking forward to reading the rest of this! 1d
AmyG Same. This book will always stay with me. 24h

dabbe @lil1inblue You did it brilliantly! If only the #fluroescentfascist could actually read or understand poetry. 🧡🤎💛 1d
