...he (the author) advises all young ladies, all single gentlemen, and all clergymen, it they have the volumes in hand, with intent to read them, to abandon the design.
The story tells of brutal battles with the Iroquois and their French allies, cruel captures, narrow escapes, and revenge. The beauty of the unspoiled wilderness and sorrow at its disappearance, symbolized in Hawkeye's Mohican friends, the last of their tribe, are important themes of the novel.

The book follows the attempts of Bumppo, his Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas, and other followers as they escort the daughters of a British colonel through the wilderness to be reunited with their father at Fort William Henry, and the aftermath of the fort's fall to the French forces.

It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet.

'Go, children of the Lenape; the anger of the Manitto is not done. Why should Tamenund stay? The pale-faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red-men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unâmis happy and strong; and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans!'

1. Rarely. I read some in high school, but very few since then.
2. Tagged. I remember really enjoying the movie with Daniel Day Lewis, I think I'd enjoy the book too.
Thank for the tag @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

Day 125.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
These are my 2 oldest books. Yes, that inscription says 1892. This is why I love old books. This is why I prefer paper over electrons. Think on it. Someone received these on Christmas 129 years ago!! Imagine the joy of receiving these. That itself makes them priceless to me.
It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet.

After a long awaited opshop visit at my local opshop, only 2 days after their reopening from lockdown, I happily spent 2 hours browsing the newly stocked shelves.
It always surprises me how many I gather to take home, knowing my shelves won't hold anymore, but at $1 each it's just too irresistible. I managed to take home 39 books with 5 being for gifts & the rest for me 😊
So excited for The Silent Patient, Gone Girl, The Color Purple & Mohicans
pickEven considering a few slow points I really enjoyed Cooper‘s story of a race that is struggling to find a sense of purpose/control and another who is don‘t see the unrest they are causing.

1. So many awesome soundtracks it‘s hard to pick a fave, but one of my faves is the Last of the Mohicans by Randy Edelman & Trevor Jones.
2. 188 🤷🏼♀️😂
3. I really like my solitaire app & I‘ve probably had it the longest.

panGood god I‘m glad that‘s done
Sorting out my ambitions for this month. We‘ll see how we go!
Slowly but surely making my way through this one.

pickI think it‘s kind of hard rating a classic because it‘s a lot slower paced and it usually requires some/a lot of analysis to fully appreciate (I recommend shmoop). Overall I really enjoyed this book and I definitely recommend!
Winding down for the night with some camomile tea and a good book 😊
pickIt doesn‘t matter where people come from they can accept each other, share and respect their differences. Read this book before and I still enjoy it.

so-soI finally finished this one! It‘s been my read-while-waiting book forever, so I started and stopped many times. I wanted to like it. I didn‘t hate it. I just never felt that I was getting close enough to the characters to stay engaged.
I need everyone to appreciate this with me. The acting gods might be taking DDL but they gave us Timothee Chalamet. #danieldaylewis #timotheechalamet #callmebyyourname #oscars
For #valentinesday my favorite book to movie love story, Hawkeye and Cora from The Last of the Mohicans. One of those rare instances when i think the movie is better. But how can it not be with Daniel Day Lewis that beautiful man 😍😍😉
You know you‘re back to school when you have to take notes as you read.
History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness.
BBC America has this on right now! Was channel surfing and found it right before this scene. Such a good movie, and a great soundtrack! I only remember the book as being okay. Anyone else read this?
#soundtracklove
For #FallintoBooks #MostAnticipatedForSeptember I would like to finish LAST OF THE MOHICANS and STORM and start on the other three!!!!

"No! You stay alive! Submit, do you hear? You're strong, you survive. You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you... " (Hawkeye / The Last of the Mohicans)
❤️I can't read this without Daniel Day Lewis's amazing voice in my head. My #bookmail exceeds expectations. My goal is to read this before December. I adore the movie. Now I need to read the book.
#Swoon #Classic #Love
panA main character who is white but lives among the Indians & so embodies the best of both worlds, natives who are inherently lesser, but with 2 'noble' exceptions, white soldiers who are brave but dumb & weak compared to that amazing main guy, & 2 ladies in constant need of rescuing - blech. I will say that the ending was unexpectedly un-pat, which was a bit of a nice surprise, but not enough to save this one.
I LOVE old editions of great books. I found these beauties at a used & collectible book store in Columbia, SC today. 😍
Daniel Day Lewis is retiring from acting?? Sad news for movie fans....Here's an image from one of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie of his, Last of the Mohicans. I've never read the book but my mom has, and she says #themoviewasbetter.
"I will find you!" *Swoons*

Hiked to this waterfall because my husband read Last of the Mohicans was filmed here. Now I have to read the book. 📚
Plunge into the adventure, betrayal, and bravery in this classic novel as war - and "civilization" - sweep the American frontier.

Trying out the Serial Reader app, as suggested in @bookriot ! Tackling this American Classic first. :)
