Brideshead Revisited | Evelyn Waugh

willaful I don't think I care much about Julia making a stupid mistake, she's kind of a horrible person. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful yeah, I‘m not a big a fan either. I thought she was fun at first, but not so much anymore! 1mo

Cuilin Oh Sebastian, 😔 I love how Charles is unbothered by Lady M‘s disappointment in him. (edited) 1mo
willaful The whole family is so toxic, even Cordelia at times. Though that's from her upbringing and she's sweet enough that she might overcome it.

lil1inblue The discomfort in this chapter was palpable! Oof! 1mo
Cuilin @lil1inblue Yes, that‘s a really good way of putting it. I‘m not a fan of Lady M. 1mo
Bookwormjillk Ooof the fun is over. 1mo
mcctrish The money is all gone - oof 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly Is Brideshead‘s first name actually Brideshead?! I thought he was Lord Brideshead but probably has a real first name and the last name Flyte like Sebastian (you know, like George Gordon, Lord Byron)… but even his mom calls him “Bridey.” 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly @willaful I‘d have hope for Cordelia if she were to be spirited away to some other family. 1mo
ElizaMarie EESH this family is A LOT! I‘d be drinking all the time too!!! 1mo
Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Bridey does have a Christian name. Brideshead is just the title and Bridey his nickname. But the book never reveals what it is. 1mo
BarbaraJean I‘ve been catching up and discovered today that my copy combines Book I and Book II (chapters 1-8) and therefore Book III has become Book II (chapters 1-5). As if I wasn‘t confused enough already by falling behind 🥴 Also I miss Aloysius. 🧸 1mo
BarkingMadRead @BarbaraJean would it help if I started off with the chapter title? Aaaand I‘m just now realizing those are only in my table of contents (edited) 1mo
BarbaraJean @BarkingMadRead Yeah, I don‘t have chapter titles at all 😆 I‘m planning to read the last two chapters in my Book I / your Book II today, which will put me back on track with the group and should help with the clarity! It‘s just such an odd difference to have between editions (and makes me suspicious of mine!) (edited) 1mo
BarkingMadRead @BarbaraJean yes! We finish our book 2 today! So crazy that yours is so different! 1mo
Sparklemn My sympathies lie with the tortoise. 😜🐢💎 1mo
