#Epistolary

So, after the #SundayFunday question I got to thinking about #Clarissa again and I made a thing. 😂 Then I looked into printing it onto t-shirts. It would be around $14-$25 depending on quantity and sizes/colors, etc. And I can't figure out how to get it to not have a white background, but give me a minute and maybe I can figure that out? Anybody interested?

Amiable @LeahBergen OMG, yes! Perfect book bag! I‘m obsessed with tote bags. 😄 56m
Amiable @BarbaraJean I think “Clarissa” should have quote marks around it because it‘s a book title if it‘s not italicized …(said the anal editor 😬) (edited) 54m
Daisey This is fantastic! I might be interested depending on specific details. @jewright Have you seen this? now

👏👏👏 You tell him, Captain!

Whether it‘s 1778 or today, no means no. I‘m loving Evelina so much!

Well, I HAVE to chime in on this one because I need to get all the mileage I can in proclaiming that I finished #Clarissa. 😆 All 950,000+ words of it. I used to brag about having read War & Peace, Don Quixote, and Anna Karenina… then I read Les Mis and Count of Monte Cristo and added them to the brag list, but Clarissa eclipses them all… in length but not enjoyment. 😂 Where are my other Learned Slatterns? Today is our day! #sundayfunday

Amiable I KNOW, RIGHT?? 😄 2d
TheBookHippie Right?!?!?!?! Oy 2d
Amiable @BarbaraJean The only downside is that I have to explain what “Clarissa” is to brag about it because most people haven‘t heard of it. 😬🙁😳 But “W&P” always gets oohs and aahs. Even though that one was way easier to read! 2d

LeahBergen Right?? It was brutal! 😂😂 2d
TheBookHippie @Amiable and get a long stare after you explain it… 2d
Daisey So true! I also agree with @Amiable as well that it doesn‘t get the same reaction from most people as saying you‘ve read War & Peace or some of the other well know classics. 2d
BookmarkTavern Yeah I had never heard of this one until @Amiable mentioned it! That is truly brag worthy! Thanks for sharing! 2d

It used to be “War & Peace” or “Les Miserables” (I don‘t remember which one is longer!) — until the #Clarissa Crew took down this monster (all 1,781 pages/ 943,000 words of it). It‘s considered the longest novel ever written in English. I will never not brag — and complain — about finishing this one. 😄

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean 🎉🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d
Amiable @BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie I‘d be on board with the t-shirts! It would be a nice companion to my “Nasty Woman” shirt. 😀 2d
LeahBergen I‘m still recovering 😂😂😂 2d
BookmarkTavern I had never even heard of this book! That is truly impressive! Thanks for sharing! 2d
Amiable @BookmarkTavern I think there are a number of us who wish we‘d never heard of it, too! 😄 2d
CoverToCoverGirl I stumbled on this one😬 I admire those persevered and made it through. 2d

I feel like the Captain would've loved Trump. 😑

Ruthiella I hated the Captain in this book. He was so rude! 😠 2w
CoveredInRust @Ruthiella I can't stand most of the men! The hero is really the only one I'm like "yeah, you'll do"... and the guardian. He's fine so far. 2w

It seemed for a time that everyone on Litsy was reading this book. I‘m finally getting to it. Such a sweet read. The NY author begins writing to a bookstore in England in order to find rare secondhand books at a good price. She ends up becoming very fond of the employees, sending them packages of food that are unavailable to them during wartime and staying in touch with the employees and their families for years. It‘s a quick and touching read.

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve seen it and after reading your post, I know I need to read this. 2w
Leftcoastzen An all time favorite! 2w
Suet624 @BooksandCoffee4Me it‘s guaranteed you‘ll like it. 2w

I first read this for a uni class and, because we we had about a week and a half to read and discuss it, didn't pay a ton of attention to ENJOYING it.

After taking a step back from analyzing everything I read for academia, I'm slowly going back to rereading some classics I read back then. Some I have hated (side eye to Moll Flanders) but this one I'm really enjoying. It's entertaining as hell and has outrageous characters. And the HAIR. GAWD.

TheBookHippie I‘m with ya on Moll Flanders 😵‍💫 2w
