pickI really enjoyed this. I found it to be a good translation. Additionally, a good amount of helpful footnotes were provided, explaining things like dates, family relations, and other similar information. Additionally, Suetonius seemed to be relatively balanced in his writing, such as providing different explanations and stories when there was conflicting information.
Have y‘all done your literary duties and watched the trailer for the new Wuthering Heights adaptation? I know the novel is messed up in all kinds of ways, but this film looks UNHINGED. 😆
pickI'm surprised at how strong the urge is to start this over again from the beginning. Where is the sweeping epic adaptation of this masterpiece? Seriously, this story has everything -- romance, betrayal, politics, fantastic medieval clothes, the list goes on. It's amazing. #KLBR

58/70 A decent score for once! This is my favorite time for everything, especially fall, scare, and wintry books. Three faves are shown above. No surprise with THE HOUND, right?

pickThe Age of Innocence is a wonderful novel. Yes, the characters are infuriating as they navigate the social constraints that they themselves create and willingly participate in. I love a novel of manners especially when the writer is witty. Wharton is masterful, laconic, controlled, and sardonic with a touch of empathy. Perfect 👌 Thanks #HashtagBrigade for the journey and our own witty hashtager @BarkingMadRead
