Doctor Thorne (TV Tie-In): The Chronicles of Barsetshire | Anthony Trollope

#period #dramas #classics I Loved this production of Anthony Trollope‘s book. Period dramas can be long winded however, this one flowed nicely from episode to episode. 🥰

Congrats again and thanks for this fun celebration of you!

Nicholas Nickleby (Complete and) | Charles Dickens

Working through a backlog of Sunday newspaper supplements, I came across this great article, Is Dickens better than Shakespeare? 🤔

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/02/is-dickens-better-than-shakespeare...

#WhatTheDickens @Cuilin

Cuilin That is such a good read, and there‘s definitely a case to be made. I think Dickens lived in a more free society and could write and be a little bit more on the nose than Shakespeare could during his time. Plus, I think modern readers can recognize/understand a Victorian time period more than an Elizabethan/Jacobean one perhaps 🤔 I would love to see one of those Oxbridge debates on this subject!! (edited) 9h

AllDebooks @Cuilin I don't think they are so comparable, due to the different time periods. I think Dickens characters are more defined between good and villainous. Shakespeare's characters are more nuanced, with both virtues and flaws. I love them both and wouldn't put one over the other. 8h

Ruthiella I definitely prefer Dickens because he‘s more accessible to me. Interesting article, thanks! 7h

Cuilin @AllDebooks True, I like both but for different reasons. 3h

ElizaMarie Ooo -- things are happening ---- #FingersCrossed it continues! Also, I hope Maggie annoys Tom with praise of Phil. 2d

TheAromaofBooks At least it feels like they are acting like regular children instead of psychopaths now 😂 2d

mcctrish Thank god he stabbed himself @AllDebooks I am struggling 2d

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 2d

dabbe @mcctrish #channelinglarkrise 😳 2d

mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 2d

dabbe @mcctrish Maybe. It's also the absence again of a plot. I mean, it's a bildungsroman about Maggie and Tom growing up, but have a driving plot line, please! 🤣 2d

julieclair @ElizaMarie You called it! Flesh wound! 🎯 2d

julieclair @dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie At least the lack of a plot is preventing me being tempted to read ahead. 🤣🤣😂 2d

mcctrish @julieclair 🤣🤣🤣 #smallmercies 2d

dabbe @julieclair And if you're like me, I count the pages before I read, and I happily rejoice if it's less than 10 pages! 🤣😍🤣 2d

eeclayton @dabbe same 😂 2d

Leftcoastzen @julieclair 😂no temptation to read ahead #gotplot 1d

Clare-Dragonfly @julieclair Oh yeah, this isn‘t like The Woman in White where it was so hard to stop at the end of each section! 1d

ElizaMarie Not that I want something bad to happen -- but... something happening might be cool, so #FingersCrossed someone gets a little flesh wound? 3d

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried that someone will get hurt! 3d

eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree. While I enjoy the character studies, I would love for something to happen already. 3d

ElizaMarie @eeclayton YES!!! I am glad I am not the only one! 2d

Leftcoastzen Made me think of my parents “ hey put that down, you‘ll poke your eye out!” Or in this case , cut your arm off ? Funny/not funny 2d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie while I might have said “oh FFS Mr Poulter that was stupid” you aren‘t wrong about wanting to have something happen. @Bookwormjillk can‘t see this going right 2d

julieclair I have visions of Maggie playing with the sword… 😳 2d

dabbe I just despise the derogatory terms used against poor Phil and his back. I know those were the words, but still ... in the #ShardlakeBR series, the lawyer, Shardlake, calls himself a hunchback as does pretty much everyone else--even Henry VIII in an extremely volatile way. #peoplecanbesocruel 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they become friends and Philip helps Tom with his Latin and drawing! I like Philip, but that‘s probably because I was a shy, bookish kid like him… and because him having a hunch due to a childhood accident makes me think of Mr Benson, the minister from

Ruth: a novel

(edited) 4d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 4d

ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 4d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 4d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 4d

Leftcoastzen I like that they may find some common ground. Tom really admires Philips drawing skills. 3d

julieclair @dabbe I agree. The derogatory terms just make me sad. They were so widespread and just accepted as normal. 2d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 5d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I think it's more fun-sounding out loud, too! 🤣 It could even sound like #touchytully! 5d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yup 😂 5d

mcctrish I love it #tetchytully he always has a bee in his bonnet 5d

ElizaMarie Oooo love this @dabbe 4d

dabbe @ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish #tetchytully it is! 🤣🤣🤣 4d

Leftcoastzen I just feel Tully is always upset because he‘s not rich , he has just enough money to worry about it . Diverting water from the mill threatens his livelihood. He doesn‘t have enough money to be connected as to advice, is this a good educator? Is this a good lawyer. 3d
