Cuilin @Graciouswarriorprincess agreed though the bar is low. Lol 11mo

Bookwormjillk Lol the bar is so low. Also can I lodge a complaint? A nickname should be shorter than your actual name. So hard to remember. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @Bookwormjillk lowest bar ever 🤣 11mo

CatLass007 Have any of you seen the movie? I think I walked through the room when someone else was watching it. Alexei is played by William Shatner. 11mo

AllDebooks @CatLass007 Absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 11mo

5feet.of.fury Fyodor gets worse every page. Forgot where he buried wife 2, calls her “the shrieker” 11mo

currentlyreadinginCO I'm always suspicious of people who are beloved in any room that they enter, though 😂. But I do love Russian nicknames! 11mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury in mine she‘s the wailer 🙄 11mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🎯 11mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead yeah, not an improvement 🫠 11mo

dabbe I can't remember when I've read a book where the author tells us in his opening notes that Alexei is the hero of the story numerous times as well as the narrator in the story saying the same thing, while both also say similar words like “I know you may not like him as a hero, but...“ The being-talked-to style also reminds me of the narrator in VANITY FAIR. 11mo

Aimeesue @CatLass007 @AllDebooks Shatner. As Alexei? That is. Unbelievable! #TheShatnerPause 😂 (edited) 11mo

CatLass007 @Aimeesue @AllDebooks I don‘t think he did that in roles other than Captain Kirk. He played Spencer Tracy‘s aide in Judgment at Nuremberg. And Denny Crane didn‘t talk that way either. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 didn‘t be kind of pause right before he said Denny Crane? Omg I can hear him in my head 🤣 11mo

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead Hmm. I just remember that he liked saying his own name and hearing others say his name, especially Candice Bergen. 11mo

Aimeesue @CatLass007 I‘m a Trekkie, so that‘s pretty much all I know him from. It‘s a definite thing in TOS! 11mo

CatLass007 @Aimeesue Oh yes! I was raised on Star Trek. I know it‘s a thing on TOS. Years ago I had a student worker who did a great Captain Kirk impression. I never much cared for Jim Carrey‘s Kirk impression. 11mo

mcctrish Between his mother wailing and holding him out for the saint to see and the den of iniquity trying to corrupt him he‘s just gonna be #holdmybeer from here on out 11mo

willaful The outside, often unidentified narrator is an interesting technique we don't see a lot anymore. I wonder when it died out.

I'm seeing a possible Brothers Karamazov inspiration in Maggie Stiefvater's “Dreamers“ trilogy. Also in something else that I'm forgetting at the moment. 11mo

Bklover Alexei seems a little too good to be true. And definitely not William Shatner!! @CatLass007 Oh, and I‘m still finding this book a bit funny. Is anyone else? Maybe it‘s my translation. I think I have the #dostoyevskyfordummies version. (MacAndrew). Definitely fun to read though!! 11mo

CatLass007 Let‘s see… The Brothers Karamazov was released in 1958. Judgment at Nuremberg was released in 1961. So they both were several years before his Star Trek days. There was an episode of Boston Legal which featured flashbacks to Denny Crane‘s younger days. It used footage of some legal drama in which Shatner appeared. The episode involved a man taking members of the law firm hostage. Denny regrets what he did in the past. Rambling. Sorry. 11mo

WHOO HOO! My afternoon got busy REAL quick! My daughter's got a birthday party but it's totally acceptable to bring this book & tell everyone I have research to do, right? #1001books #downtherabbithole #holdmybeer
@ValerieAndBooks @AshleyHoss820 @Jabberwocky @lauraodom

Jabberwocky SO EXCITING! I‘ve been thinking of ways to organize mine since I ordered it 😅 7y

IamIamIam @Jabberwocky I'm a little embarrassed! There are SOOOO many books I've never even heard of!!! 7y

Jabberwocky Don‘t be embarrassed!! Think of all of the new to you books that you now get to experience that you might never have come across before! 7y

ValerieAndBooks Awesome!! Have fun📚📚📚!! First thing to figure out is what you‘ve already read, right 😊? 7y

AshleyHoss820 I agree with @Jabberwocky 😊 I was the same way! Now I have so many books that have become favorites that I never would have known about without the list!! Happy Birthday to your daughter, by the way!! HAVE FUN! I can‘t wait to see your reviews! 7y

IamIamIam @AshleyHoss820 Thanks! She just went to a party yesterday, luckily! So how have you been reading them? Are you going by any particular order or is it catch as catch can? I'm really excited!!! 7y

IamIamIam @ValerieAndBooks Yes, and honestly there aren't too many so I can really reread the few I've read already. So I'm kind of starting from scratch here! Lol 7y

AshleyHoss820 @IamIamIam I just realized I responded to you in my head but not IRL...🤦🏻‍♀️I try to read them in alphabetical order to avoid getting stuck in any time period/genre, but sometimes I just grab something and run with it. 😄 7y

IamIamIam @AshleyHoss820 😂😂😂 Thanks!!! 😉 7y

Chapter 17 made the 10 year old boy who lives somewhere deep inside of me and who likes to laugh at bathroom humor, lol. And Sancho got blanket tossed in the air in some weird variation of something from a Redneck Hootenanny which probably had rules like in this pic (sorry for the censoring - I don't care for bad language 😀) #dqbuddyread
