dabbe All they want to do is bitch about how much the family is ruined, yet they won't lift a finger to help--even though they have the money to do it! #beyondannoyed 🤬 12h

AllDebooks These vile people are causing so much more angst. Jog on, ladies 😡 9h

The Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

#WhereAreYouMonday

Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I am still with Maggie Tulliver and co. in the mid 19th century reading for #HashtagBrigade . The “real river” is the Trent and it is quite imposing looking. “Floss” sounds so sweet and gentle. But the Trent is known for its dramatic flooding that can even change the course of the river.

Piers Plowman: The Donaldson Translation, Middle English Text, Sources and Backgrounds, Criticism | Ethelbert Talbot Donaldson, William Langland

so-so

I spent 5.5 months working in this. Piers is important historically, both linguistically and politically. When the peasants revolted in 1381, this work, with its commoner plowman religious hero, was cited. It was popular amongst the underclasses (even if they were largely illiterate). Intellectually it‘s interesting in that it‘s inconclusive. Our author never resolves his issues. But, artistically it‘s only ok. It was work. I‘m glad I‘m done.

Suet624 That‘s too bad. Sounds like a book I‘m be interested in but it sounds a bit too much for me right now. 3d

Leftcoastzen 😻👏 3d

Graywacke @Suet624 it‘s tough and droll. 🙂 Actually the beginning is better. The original version was 1/3 as long and had all the good parts. I think i would have been happier with that version. 3d

Graywacke @Leftcoastzen she‘s just waiting till i give her kitchen scraps. She scored a little ground beef later tonight. 3d

ElizaMarie Ooo -- things are happening ---- #FingersCrossed it continues! Also, I hope Maggie annoys Tom with praise of Phil. 6d

TheAromaofBooks At least it feels like they are acting like regular children instead of psychopaths now 😂 5d

mcctrish Thank god he stabbed himself @AllDebooks I am struggling 5d

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 5d

dabbe @mcctrish #channelinglarkrise 😳 5d

mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 5d

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! 🤣 5d

julieclair @ElizaMarie You called it! Flesh wound! 🎯 5d

julieclair @dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie At least the lack of a plot is preventing me being tempted to read ahead. 🤣🤣😂 5d

mcctrish @julieclair 🤣🤣🤣 #smallmercies 5d

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! 🤣😍🤣 5d

eeclayton @dabbe same 😂 5d

Leftcoastzen @julieclair 😂no temptation to read ahead #gotplot 5d

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! 5d

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly Full confession: I often didn‘t stop at the end of each section with Woman in White. Totally impossible. 3d

BarkingMadRead @julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly I 💯 read ahead for Woman in White 3d
