Hmm, it seems I‘ve fallen a bit behind on my #LitsyClassics challenge. 😳 And The Brothers Karamazov is the one I just started... Well, I still think I can do it. I just have to get serious. 🧐
DivineDiana Didn‘t know about this challenge?!? Looks like you are making substantial progress! 👏🏻 6y
Leniverse Uh. I need to look at my signup document. I don‘t even remember what books I put on it. I might have read some of them. 😂 6y
batsy You can do it! 💪🏽 I need to get serious, too. We'll be earnest and serious together? 🧐 6y

emilyhaldi Fun!!! I want to start this challenge now (with a deadline falling somewhere in 2019 😂) 6y
Sarah83 Looks great 😍 6y
saresmoore @emilyhaldi It is a really great challenge. Just planning for it, I‘ve unearthed all sorts of interesting books! 6y
saresmoore @batsy Accountability, yeah! #rudeladyreadersunite #defeatdistraction 6y
saresmoore @batsy Oh! Your use of “earnest” reminds me that I also already filled the I requirement! 😂![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays 6y
The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Playssaresmoore @Leniverse I intentionally left my sign up document blank to be filled in later. I am terrible at sticking to a planned list! 6y
batsy I just remembered I'd slotted in Moby Dick for M 😂 Maybe I should tackle that next year and not on a challenge basis 😬 6y
janeycanuck I just started crime and punishment. I‘m having trouble getting into it. Did you have that problem? 6y
saresmoore @janeycanuck It May be the translation. We compared several different ones for the #LittleRaskols buddy read. Do you know which translator you‘re reading? 6y
saresmoore @batsy I was still harboring hopes of doing Moby Dick for M until I looked at my pathetic list and realized the half-finished Middlemarch was a better choice than a fully unopened monolith! And really, I don‘t know if I‘ll ever finish The Brothers Karamazov. I‘m on page 20 out of 7,000,000 and I‘ve already read three different stories?! Gosh, sorry, I‘m being bleak. *ahem* We can do it! 💪 6y
janeycanuck @saresmoore no, it doesn‘t say and I can‘t figure it out by a quick google. I‘ll take a look at the translation convo and maybe pick up a different one. Thanks for the tip!! 6y
batsy Hahaha! It's totally fine to be bleak, we're reading Dostoevsky and that means we're getting right into the spirit of things 😂 To be honest, I've been too terrified to start because it's been a busy few days. I'm hoping to *really* get started this weekend. 💪🏽👊🏽 6y
saresmoore @batsy Again I find myself lamenting & longing for the seclusion of academic/cloistered/reclusive life. Maybe I‘ll just go hide myself in a closet and read Dickinson to recharge. 😬 6y
batsy Any room for me in that closet? *clambers in with a copy of Dickinson, tries not to step on your toes* 6y
saresmoore @batsy 😁 I‘m now imagining it through a portal to another dimension—we each have a door. Ah, the stuff of childhood daydreams! 6y
batsy Perfect 💫😍 6y
Moray_Reads I'm so jealous of your lovely handwriting! The thing (one of them) that I hated most about teaching was having my ugly writing up on the board all the time 🤭 6y
saresmoore @Moray_Reads It must be the years I spent doodling words in my notebook out of boredom during school. 🙃 6y
