Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 I expected some sort of blah blah blah because it was such a long chapter but instead we got Jerry Springer 1y

currentlyreadinginCO The problem w this book is that no one calls anyone by their name and I always have to reread everything to find out what happened! It took me a couple rereads to understand who was locked out and where everyone was at the end of this chapter 😂😂. But despite my constant complaining I'm actually really enjoying this and don't think I would have gotten this far w.o the buddy read, SO 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1y

BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO my allergies are so bad today that it took me like an hour to actually get through it. I had to keep going back and reading it again. 1y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk WORD. 1y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I now am going back to nighttime reading with appropriate beverages…. This was ..😵‍💫🤪 ALOT. 1y

dabbe @TheBookHippie The nighttime beverages make ALL the difference. 😂 #whichmanisthepan #panpanpan #paniepanpanie #myheadhurts 1y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe so confusing 🤣 I just let it go, I figured they wouldn‘t be around long enough to matter 🤣 1y

TheAromaofBooks As usual, spot-on meme usage here 😂 1y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks #mygooglegameisstrong 1y

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤩😍😂 1y

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks absolute truth 🤣🤣 1y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk this is Jerry Springer on steroids 🤣🤣 1y

mcctrish @TheBookHippie I wish I had enough money to order a few cases of champagne to drink this with ( some blini and caviar would be a nice touch too) 1y

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I don‘t like Vodka but it‘s probably what they drank 🤪👀😅 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s not enough champagne in the world for that chapter 🤣 it was so chaotic! 1y

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead honestly I read this so loud in my head 🤕 1y

Graciouswarriorprincess That was crazy! 1y

Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk Jerry Springer! lol! 1y

dabbe That photo says it all. #perfection 1y

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 1y

Graciouswarriorprincess I agree…wtf? This book is something else! 1y

TheBookHippie I‘m pretending I‘m sitting at the bar listening to a drunk tell a very long story….. 1y

Cuilin I do wonder why a chapter like this is added into a novel, as it never seems to move the plot forward. Is to highlight the suffering as that‘s a big theme of the book? Who knows? It‘s all rather fascinating though, if a little 🍌 👖. 1y

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 1y

Ruthiella So I listened to a pretty erudite book tuber about this book and he said the point of the novel is the age old question in Christian theology of why do humans suffer if there is a benevolent god looking out for us. So the plot is maybe all subservient to this idea and therefore occasionally whackadoodle. Also, FD had a son named Aleksey who died as a child, which was a huge blow. Generally FD‘s life was one of hardship, illness and grief. 1y

Ruthiella Here‘s the link- though it is a long video. https://youtu.be/zpqES5V6iAg?si=Mt9Bwh8JgLfDneMZ 1y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella thank you for sharing!!! 1y

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh that is fascinating. Thanks for sharing. 1y

Cuilin @TheBookHippie save a barstool for me. 🥃🥃 (edited) 1y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella my friend told me to pretend I‘m reading Job from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible so … must be so! 1y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 🍻 1y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella thx for the link! 1y

mcctrish Was Aloysha not supposed to deliver something to this second-captain? Money? Or did I miss something in the last chapter‘s yelling ?Biggest take away from this chapter? The insult “you‘re a little pile, and you smell vile” absolutely SAVAGE 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yeah, he was supposed to give him money! Ugh 1y

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead something to look forward to tomorrow 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ 1y

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Thanks for the link! 1y

Aimeesue That IS the perfect illustration! 1y

Bklover Still not caught up but not giving up! 1y

currentlyreadinginCO Helpful info! @Ruthiella 1y

Ruthiella @Bklover Hang in there! 😅 1y

Bookwormjillk That was really a lot. At one point I think I blacked out and came to a few pages later but they were still talking about who knows what. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk it felt like 100 years 🤣 longest chapter ever 🤣 1y

5feet.of.fury @Bookwormjillk 1/2 of the chapter was just 1 whole loooooooong paragraph! It was too much lol 1y

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury 😂 I died a little inside when I saw that wall of text. 1y

willaful I'll be honest, I gave up reading days ago. Still enjoying the comments though. 😊 1y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I‘m so glad I wasn‘t the only one! @willaful maybe it will get better and you can jump back in 🤞🏻🤞🏻 1y

currentlyreadinginCO Yeah idk bout this church and state debate... 1y

emz711 Loving the Monty Python picture ;) 1y

TheBookHippie For a moment I thought I was back in Les Mis stuck in the sewers… 😵‍💫😅👀😮‍💨 1y

KAO Today‘s word that sent me scurrying for a definition: Ultramontanism. (From Britannica.com “in Roman Catholicism, a strong emphasis on papal authority and on centralization of the church.”) Whew! What a chapter! 1y

BarkingMadRead @emz711 as soon as someone said tripping monks, i thought of this. I mean, they‘re not tripping, but still. I kind of wanted to whack myself in the head for this whole chapter so it totally fit. 1y

TheAromaofBooks I was expecting this book to be depressing; was not anticipating being bored to death 😂 1y

dabbe Imagine how everyone would have continued going on & on & on & on if they really were tripping. Holy guacamole, was that a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg chapter. #toomuchtimeontheirhands 💤💤💤 1y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I laughed way too hard at this 🤣 1y

CatLass007 Okay, I just finished listening to this and I am lost. I can‘t really figure out who is making which argument and I‘m not sure I care anymore. But I kind of understand the arguments. Socialism and Communism were on the rise and as we all know there was a revolution in Russia. Two things that happened were the murders of the royal family and the abolishment of religion. This argument is a foreshadowing of those events. 1y

Daisey @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella So long! I also tuned out for a bit. This book brought us in with a couple short chapters and now this. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Daisey #itsatrap 1y

mcctrish Firstly, crossing by my legs, if ever there was a blah, it was followed by a blah, blah, blah. Secondly, recrossing my legs, I had forgotten that in order for Russia to abolish religion, it had to have it ( in spades) @CatLass007 is right with her points. Thirdly, more recrossing of legs, @willaful I laughed out loud at your comment #letskeepchurchandstateseperate (edited) 1y

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks OMG that made me laugh! 😆🤣😂 Bring on the depressing misery! 1y

Aimeesue @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 1y

Vansa Sorry if I'm late to this, is there a readalong happening of this? I would like to join! Is it a chapter a day? I haven't been on Litsy in a while! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Vansa yes! We are reading a chapter a day! I can add you to the tag list if you‘d like 1y

Vansa Please add me! I'll catch up by this weekend. Which translation would you recommend? 1y

BarkingMadRead @Vansa oh gosh, I have no idea! Maybe do a hashtag search of #hashtagbrigade and see what everyone has? I know there are a few different versions and some of the wording has been different, but I don‘t think it‘s been anything too crazy 1y

SamAnne Catching up. The Bros aren‘t the most enticing Mexican beach read. 😂 But I like this chapter from the standpoint of what ends up happening in Russia. 1y
