Today‘s #haikuaday was inspired by The Beatles “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” AND my recent (such a favorite) listen, Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton. #haikuhive

War and Peace: Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky | Leo Tolstoy

pick

Among other things, on a personal level 2024 will go down as the year I read War and Peace. I did it chapter a day (kind of/theoretically) with the Footnotes and Tangents Substack. I can't say I really loved it, or think it's one of the greatest novels ever, but I'm glad to have read it and found the online discussion and commentary enriching.

Tamra 👏🏾👏🏾 That‘s an achievement! 4mo

Yes, I've seen all of them. Some of them several times. Three highlights, because favourites are hard to nail down.

Interview with the Vampire - seen on my first student exchange trip to the UK

Terminator 1+2 - first video rental ever

Silence of the Lambs - one of the first films I recorded from TV and then watched obsessively

kspenmoll Impressive! 11mo

My Goodreads stats.Not my best year ever, I had many obstacles to keeping up and felt no shame adjusting the number down a bit, a suggestion from @dabbe Thanks ! 😁Funny that my longest was a reread I adjusted it up for 2024 because I can‘t learn a lesson.Average book, 288 pages.

vivastory Happy New Year, Linda! Hope that 2024 is a bit easier on you 💙 1y

Leftcoastzen @vivastory right back at you! Let‘s hope 2024 is a better one for everybody. I love that you are posting some more lately. 👏 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for the visual! I thought this chapter was hilarious. They‘re all so pretentious 😂 2y

Morr_Books @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! This chapter is hilarious! I was laughing right at the beginning when it was mentioned how much they disliked the doctor's name, Hoggins, but that Piggins would have been worse. 🤣 2y

Ruthiella The chapter really does underscore the absurdity of class hierarchies! 😂 Certainly Mrs. Jamison enjoys being a big fish in a very small pond. And of course they ate up all the food not because they were hungry but because they were “too genteel” to point out how low class the spread was by abstaining. (edited) 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I feel like the narrator is telling us all this in a sly whisper out of the corner of her mouth. And she occasionally bursts into giggles because she just can‘t help herself. That‘s why there are so many funerals—so she isn‘t constantly laughing. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I was also confused about the sedan chair being in the house! I always assumed they picked people up outside like a cab?? But apparently not! 😂 2y

Bookwormjillk i also do not approve of capital letters ff 2y

dabbe @Ruthiella a big “snoring“ fish ... 🤣🤣🤣 2y

dabbe I just spit out what I was drinking reading through all of this: y'all were funnier than this chapter, and that's saying something! Starting with you @BarkingMadRead ... #welldone 🙌🤩💚 2y

BarkingMadRead I‘ve said this on a few posts by you Pemberlittens, I gave this a pick, but it‘s a soft pick. This could have been so much shorter and still conveyed everything George wanted to convey 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

IndoorDame @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead Yes!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆for everyone! We earned them! 2y

ravenlee I think this was an ultramarathon, or one of those endurance trail run things! 2y

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee in the ultra world there is a challenge called the Barkley Marathons. This was a Barkley for sure. 2y

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkley_Marathons 2y

Bookwormjillk Congrats all, and thanks @barkingmadread . I liked the beginning of this book so much better than the end. I think soft pick is a fair rating. 2y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I agree this was a Barkley 2y

ravenlee Wow, I‘ve never heard of the Barkley Marathons - which is funny, as I married a Barkley (no relation, I think) and my in-laws live in Tennessee. My SIL and her husband frequent Frozen Head on their hiking expeditions. Weird! 2y

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead the Barkley is wild! 2y

CoffeeNBooks Hmm. I'm not sure how I feel about this book at this point. Parts of it were interesting, parts of it weren't. I have a lot of love for many of the classics, but this one not so much. @BarkingMadRead - I agree that Eliot could have made her point with a shorter book. 🤔 2y

TheAromaofBooks I would never have made it through without your hashtags @BarkingMadRead !!! I can see why this has never been as popular as Austen's novels. None of these characters were particularly likable or relatable - definitely don't see myself daydreaming about any of the men I met in these pages! 😂 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks not a Darcy to be found 🙄 I wouldn‘t want any of these dudes 🤣 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead - Literally none! And honestly I didn't think any of the women were particularly prizes either! 😆 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I guess nobody loves Fred and Mary like I do? 😅 I definitely wouldn‘t say I love this book—Rosamond and Lydgate give me too much anxiety—but Fred and Mary!!! 2y

kwmg40 Thanks for hosting, @BarkingMadRead! I loved the novel, as well as the commentary from everyone here. 2y

JamieArc Congrats to you all! 🎉🎉. I got quite behind when I didn‘t want to take this chunkster on vacation, but I will carry on and look forward to each chapter‘s post as a reward! 2y

BarkingMadRead @kwmg40 hooray!!!!! @JamieArc I wouldn‘t want to lug that thing anywhere either! 2y

Bklover Ahhhh, this was fun! And long. Really enjoyed reading this with all of you. And @BarkingMadRead ❤️❤️❤️❤️🏆 2y

This was a really fun read. And a brilliant idea for an author to take these classic stories and re-work them. The dragon aspect was great - an all around enjoyable getaway. My favorite kind of book...❤️🤓 This was my choice for Fairytale Re-telling for #Booked2019 #welldone #greatread
