Cuilin I 100% agree with Mr Dashwood. Has Jo really stopped writing, like for good? I don‘t remember this. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I didn‘t remember this part either! 8mo

Bookwormjillk Bhaer looks a lot younger than I pictured him in this picture 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk the book definitely makes him out to be older 8mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk if I had to choose between Christian Bale as Laurie or Gabriel Byrne as Bhaer. I‘m choosing Gabriel Byrne. 8mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I‘ve never seen the movies 🫢 8mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk it‘s been years since I‘ve seen it. I also liked the more recent one. I just recognize Gabriel Byrne‘s picture and then I looked up who played Laurie, I did not remember. 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly Jo! Swinging between extremes and then giving up entirely is not the answer to your pangs of conscience! 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Both of the recent movies make him so much younger! I say this with love, because I honestly love Professor Bhaer and his romance with Jo, but the actor in the Greta Gerwig movie is way too young and hot 😂 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 8mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly so true! He‘s a rumpled old man 8mo

julieclair Bhaer seems like such a good man. I don‘t remember any of this. I think when I read Little Women as a kid, it must only have been Part I. 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Rumpled old man is a perfect description even though he‘s like my age 😂 (but the idea of marrying a 21-year-old is horrifying! Bhaer and Colonel Brandon, you are incomprehensible!) 8mo

currentlyreadinginCO I liked this ch & getting to see Fyodor's theatrics 😂 14mo

currentlyreadinginCO I also skimmed the chapters we've already covered because I was mad confused about the characters but now I think that I've got it straight 😅 14mo

AllDebooks Fyodor and all his 🚩😅 14mo

BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO he‘s something else! It‘s nice to see it though, and not get the basics like we have in previous chapters 14mo

5feet.of.fury Fyodor is such an ass. 😂 poor Alexei having to deal with these theatrics 14mo

CatLass007 This is the first time I‘ve read the book and I‘ve never seen more than a snippet of the movie, but I thought he was going to be some kind of tyrant. He hasn‘t come off that way in the chapters we‘ve covered so far. I don‘t think he‘s a clown either, even though he behaves like a buffoon in this chapter. I definitely will continue with #thebros to figure out who everyone is down deep and what‘s going to happen next. 14mo

CatLass007 It‘s actually hard to stick to one chapter a day because the chapters are a manageable length and I want to get to the “meat” of this story. But I know I‘m free to read it however I wish and I do enjoy our daily discussion. 14mo

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should 💯 read ahead if you want! 14mo

Bookwormjillk I think he‘s up to something 14mo

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead Oh, I will. I may be overcommitted to challenges and buddy reads though. So it‘s probably best not to change anything yet. 14mo

willaful I'm two days behind! This chapter sounds interesting though, so I'll try to catch up. 14mo

mcctrish I thought they were going to see the great elder to hear him pray or bless them, but instead we get Fyodor being ‘pleasnt‘ and he never shuts up #mansplainingoriginstory 14mo

Bklover @Bookwormjillk I think you‘re right- he‘s a sneaky old fart and he‘s up to something! 14mo

dabbe Fyodor: our comic-relief villain. #selfnamedbuffoon 14mo

KAO @currentlyreadinginCO I also have had to skim the previously read chapter before moving on to the new chapter each day! “Wait. Who is this again?” And then another check of the list of characters (and the 13 alternate names listed for each). This is how I only got through the first third of War and Peace and finally gave up (many years ago). I hope I can stick with this one! 14mo

currentlyreadinginCO I am glad that I am not the only one!! I also googled a character name to see who they were and a whole explanation was available since this book is so well-studied, so that's an option if you get stuck! @KAO 14mo

KAO Thanks for that tip! @currreadinginCO 14mo

eeclayton @Cuilin Couldn't agree more! 2y

Ruthiella Fitz and Mary both seem determined to play the martyr. Yet another thing they have in common. 🙄 Let‘s hope Elizabeth can help put this right! 😃 2y

willaful LOL, best meme ever!

Mary is indeed annoying, but I feel like this is one place in the book that really makes sense to me given the original characters. (Though I still think #MaryWasRetconned.) I can see what happened with Edmund affecting her like this. 2y

mcctrish Mary is totally getting on my wick @Cuilin am I wrong in remembering it took quite a few requests from Fitz to finally get a foot in the door at the Crawfords and then all everyone can talk about is Mary is engaged ?! Fitz is wise to steer clear Mary will have her knickers in a knot over something every damn day 2y

Cuilin @mcctrish she‘s one who says go away and then gets mad when they go away. #StayClearFitz 2y

dabbe @Cuilin #ruhroh ... When you say to “stay clear“ you know that's code talk for “never give up and waste away until you get her!“ Whew. The two (ahem) older people have more drama than the younger folks! 🤣🤩🤗 2y
