The Catcher in the Rye | J.D. Salinger

1) I went to Catholic schools K-12 and I was an average student. I did better in college and graduated summa cum laude from Colorado State University.

2) I tagged my favorite book and I am wondering if it counts because Holden technically just got kicked out of high school.

Classics Reimagined, Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

pick

#Read2025

For #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

1. Reread, I‘m not sure how many times as I read it at least every 2 years, often every year… maybe 30? Format: started with the purple beauty, read mostly on my Kindle & finished with the Classics Reimagined version this weekend. I don‘t think my viewpoint has changed too much except for more sympathy for Mary over the years.

2. Elizabeth of course! 💜 Darcy by the end.😉

3. Elizabeth ⬇️

DieAReader, Crinoline_Laphroaig

DebinHawaii … going toe-to-toe with Lady Catherine. Such badassery!
4. So many favorite quotes but “and I could easily forgive HIS pride, if he had not mortified MINE.” Is just perfection
5. Ride in the rain & catch a cold & recover at Netherfield Park
6. Dinner with Caroline to see what she‘d wear. Plus I think the food would be better-I feel like Lady C would not have her food seasoned well! 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⬇️ 1d

DebinHawaii … 7. It‘s close, but Wickham is worse for me.
8. A girl‘s tea with Lizzy, Jane & Mrs. Gardiner. 🫖 No to Mr. & Mrs. Bennet & Mr. Collins.
9. I watched the 1995 series once this month & 2005 twice (it‘s shorter!). While I get the appeal of Matthew Macfadyen, Colin Firth is forever my Darcy.💜
1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm planning a daylong binge of 1995. #DateWithMrDarcy‼️😍 19h

Mansfield Park | Austen

pick

How come most people apparently don't like this book?
I loooooovvvvvveeeeeeedddddd this! So cute.
I'm not sure I'll watch the movies, though... Does anyone recommend them?

rwmg I do find it the heaviest going of JA's books, though still light years ahead of many other authors'. I think the problem for many people is Fanny Price. Most people want to be Lizzie Bennett or Emma Wodehouse. Nobody wants to be Fanny Price. 1d

bellabella @rwmg I can understand that. I love her character, how sweet and gentle she is. I think her only flaw is that she allows herself to get bossed around. I think everybody should have some degree of Fanny Price inside them... just not to the extent. 1d

The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexandre Dumas

#CoverStories

Kicking it old school for today‘s #Prison prompt.

I was thinking about this book the other day. A coworker wanted me to read it with her after I moved to Hawaii. I always laugh because other coworkers wanted to join our impromptu book club but voted on the next book being Dead Until Dark (the first Sookie Stackhouse book) & then after a few of those, we read the newly released Twilight. We never made it back to the classics! 🤣

The Great Gatsby | F. Scott Fitzgerald

pick

#Read2025

So in high school I absolutely did not like The Great Gatsby & thus over the years never picked up more Fitzgerald, content in my dislike. We had two #SundayBuddyRead books that put the author in a more favorable, sympathetic light & I decided it was time to go back again & reread TGG after a (cough) few decades of life 😉 & picked it as my #FictionalTraveler March pick for #BigCity. Surprise! I quite enjoyed the book this time. ⬇️

DebinHawaii … I suppose I‘ll attribute it to being more open-minded about morally ambiguous characters like Gatsby, understanding wanting something/someone so badly, &/or just being more appreciative of well-written prose, but it was not at all a chore to read & at the end of the day, I think it‘s a great book. (I still despise Tom & Daisy mind you). And something interesting to me now is when Tom is describing their honeymoon & Daisy loving him, he says, ⬇️ (edited) 2d

DebinHawaii … “Not at Kapiolani?” & “Not that day I carried you down from the Punch Bowl to keep your shoes dry?” So I am now convinced that Tom & Daisy‘s 3-month South Seas honeymoon trip included Oahu & Hawaii. Again, probably just interesting to me. Anyway, I am pleased with adult me for having grown & will probably try more Fitzgerald in the future! 😉 2d

AmyG Books read differently when you are an adult. 2d

LeahBergen There are so many books I appreciate more with some ‘age‘ behind me. 😆 2d

DieAReader 💖💖💖 2d

dabbe I always wondered why this book was taught in American literature. I didn't appreciate it as a 16-year-old at all. As an adult, though ... wowza! I found that playing the audio of Tim Robbins reading it to my juniors really helped them to understand it better. The power of audio didn't really exist back in 1982 when I was a junior. 🤣 2d
