Nicholas Nickleby | Charles Dickens

Absolutely loving this book so I checked to see if there were a movie. Being able to watch it “free” on Prime expires in 8 days!! Thought I‘d give everyone a heads up. That means I have about 8 days to finish 15 hours if I want to finish the book before watching the movie, which of course I do. So we will see if I can manage it. The trailer for the movie looks so good and it‘s well cast. #whatthedickens @Cuilin

Cuilin Oh my gosh, is that Charlie Hunnam? 11h
Texreader @Cuilin yes! Lots of great actors in it 10h

Tale of Genji | Shikibu Murasaki

These are my current long reads, and I‘m enjoying each of them in their own way.

I got a lot from my previous read of #Genji, so I thought I would reread for the #Reading1001 yearlong read this year by listening to the Washburn translation. It‘s interesting how I‘ve forgotten so many details, but then hear sections that immediately seem so familiar.

Anyone else like or have a mother like Kate‘s mom, making her be ready for her appointment 1-1/2 hours early? 🤣🤣

Wink wink Mom @Doll8455 😘

Butterfinger Aren't you the one who would post your mother's post-it-note reviews? I always thought it was precious. 1w
Texreader @Butterfinger Yes!! Good memory! I wish she‘d still do it. But she‘s still reading lots!! I‘m taking her books this weekend. 1w
KathyWheeler @Texreader I loved your mom‘s post-it-notes reviews! 1w
Ruthiella OMG yes! My mother likes to be early for everything and I am perpetually 15 minutes late. 😂 1w

Mr Gregsbury the politician doesn‘t think authors are entitled to be paid for their works! Ha! Dickens jesting by pointing a finger at himself!

Spite, the word even sounds malicious.

Nothing like holding our elected officials‘ feet to the fire?

I can just picture Dickens chortling to himself as he wrote about the electorate bringing grievances to this member of parliament

I won‘t post it, but the last question to “sir” is the funniest!

Texreader Chuzzlewit is longer than Nickleby. I think we still need some tweaking. 2w
Cuilin @Texreader oh no!!! Ok I‘m on it!! 2w

Cuilin @Texreader Thoughts? I gave Chuzzlewit two months. 2w
Lcsmcat I‘m ok with taking 2 months, or longer. Whatever the group wants to do. That‘s the ne T one I‘ll be reading along with the group because I‘ve read Dorrit and Nickleby recently. 2w
Texreader Yay! I like it 2w
Cuilin @Lcsmcat @Texreader Everyone of course can read at their own pace and join discussions if and when they want. 2w
CatLass007 I‘m enjoying Nicholas Nickleby. I wasn‘t sure what to expect but I‘ve been pleasantly surprised 2w
Texreader @CatLass007 I feel same way about Nickleby! I was thinking I‘d have to bail because of the treatment of the boys—it was just so much after Copperfield. But Nickleby is definitely a different character from David. I like how we can compare and contrast characters over multiple reads 2w
Texreader @Cuilin @Lcsmcat Ditto! This is a no stress read!! 🤗 2w
Cuilin @Texreader @CatLass007 I went into NN completely blind. I‘m still in the abusive school part and I‘m disgusted. Yet I feel hopeful. 2w
BarbaraJean This looks great! I haven‘t started Nickleby yet 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was waiting to finish Lark Rise, which I have now done, so I‘ll be diving in this week! 2w
Cuilin @BarbaraJean I liked Lark Rise but I‘m also glad it‘s done. 2w
CatLass007 @Cuilin @Texreader The abusive school part is disgusting but I feel hopeful too. 2w
dabbe I had NN planned out until the end of May at 7 pages per day, so I'm gonna have to up my reading game! 😂 I'm also at the school part, and the abuse is 🤯!!! I'm enjoying the book, though. 🤩 2w
