The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexandre Dumas

#tlt #threelistThursday

Faves: tagged
Pride and Prejudice
Frankenstein

I‘ve read and really liked David Copperfield. I expect to read Dickens‘ other books this year for #whattheDickens and I‘ll probably read Mansfield Park someday

I recently bought The Three Musketeers so I‘m looking forward to that one

Not a huge fan of the books I read in high school and college: The Scarlet Letter and Candide

dabbe

ChaoticMissAdventures I really really struggled years ago when I read with

Candide

dabbe I was surprised GREAT EX wasn't on the list, but I adored BLEAK HOUSE. I'm still working through NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

Thank you for the tag @dabbe . 😊 My three are books that I have read with the #HashtagBrigade and probably would not have picked up otherwise! 😃

dabbe Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

1001: Books You Must Read Before You Die: You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

Hahahahhahaha anyone else on Team Zero 😆😆There were maybe two that I “read” in high school lit, which meant I actually just used CliffsNotes. I am very much not a classics kind of girl.
#TLT @dabbe @TheSpineView thanks for the tags!

ETA- I‘ve tried to read several like Austen and just really not cared for them.

Ruthiella Have you seen an Austen adaptation and liked it? Just curious, because I think that‘s also a great way to experience an author‘s work, even if it is an adaptation to a different medium. 8h

BethM @Ruthiella I have! I generally have enjoyed several of these as film adaptations. I just can‘t get through the written word. 8h

dabbe We'll be heading to contemporary lit, and that's where you're gonna soar! 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

Texreader Thank heavens I read a couple in school, too! 9h

MonicaLoves2Read @Texreader 😂😂 I guess we each had teachers that thought we needed to read a couple of them 😂 8h

Texreader I only got 8 books. ☺️ 8h

dabbe @MonicaLoves2Read @Texreader Here's to getting out of the 1700s! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe We scored the same! 😍 “House of Usher“ is one of my faves! If you're into campy movies, the 1960 one starring Vincent Price is a hoot, and it's free on YouTube! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEbH7mZ8Vk&t=63s
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe I am grateful for my college years reading Rousseau and Marquis de Sade for this score. I know they did a new House of Usher recently with the gorgeous Rahul Kohli, I might make reading and watching these my next classics challenge! 8h

Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

I‘m counting Floss because I‘m currently reading it with #hashtagbrigade and it has to count for something! I did start Ivanhoe that‘s on this list but I‘ve barely touched it so I left it off #TLT #Threelistthursday

Ruthiella I think it‘s fair to count The Mill on the Floss. 👍 9h

mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 8h

Jane Eyre | Charlotte Bront�

Ouch! Since there‘s only 6, I might as well include them all. I liked or loved these five.
1. Jane Eyre
2. Pride & Prejudice
3. Sense & Sensibility
4. Mansfield Park
5. Wuthering Heights
This one I hated, and it didn‘t help that I had to read it twice!
6. The Scarlet Letter

ChaoticMissAdventures I think the best thing about the scarlet letter is in the movie Easy A when Olive jokes about how she knows everyone in class just watched the movie because they kept talking about Demi Moore in the bath 🤣 9h

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣🤣🤣 8h

dabbe I'm with you on all of your choices! And here's to higher scores as the years move forward! #byebye1700s Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

Susanita @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣🤣🤣 8h

Susanita @dabbe I‘m looking forward to moving through the years! In my defense, there were some other authors I‘ve read, just not those particular books. 8h

In addition to Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, I also enjoyed The Last of the Mohicans. This was a difficult one this week.

Play? @Kshakal @BethM @rretzler @Lauredhel @CaroPi

BkClubCare Yeah,… no. I read the first few pages of Last of the Mohicans and decided “the movie is better” (I could be wrong, could maybe someday try again!) 10h

BethM I can‘t with classical lit 😆I‘m off to take it now! 9h
