KAO Finally caught up again after some painful and murky days following total knee replacement surgery! It‘s great to get to trial action at last! The vodka ointment which can also be drunk! Poodles?! Too drunk to testify! Courtroom drama at its finest. 2mo

dabbe @KAO Hope you're feeling better and that your knee is healing nicely! 💚 2mo

CatLass007 I must confess that I bailed a while ago but I‘m still enjoying your daily posts. 3mo

mcctrish According to my tracking on Goodreads we are 54% of the way into this monster and the elder has died, kitkat is still hysterical?, Mrs Coca Cola has sent Ratman as a spy and Aloysha just bailed on the hermitage so next up a marriage and a murder? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and some air freshener hopefully 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella such an odd combo 4mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he says “bork, bork, bork” Swedish for blah, blah, blah ( probably) and @Ruthiella thank goodness Aloysha gets to eat after all the running around 4mo

Bklover I‘m really sorry, but I‘m going to have to drop out. I‘m very disappointed- I tried to catch up, but this month I just don‘t have it in me. It‘s been a difficult month, and of the books I intended to read this month I‘m only keeping up with one. I seem to have lost my focus. Love you all, and I‘ll be back for the next one. (Can‘t remember what‘s next). ❤️❤️❤️ 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Bklover we will see you in March! (It‘s

Bklover Oh good! I love Rebecca! That will be a fun reread. 4mo

rubyslippersreads Even though I bailed, I‘m glad to finally know what a hurdy-gurdy looks like. 😂 4mo

willaful @Bklover I dropped out ages ago, I'm just really enjoying the posts. 😳

I don't think I've ever seen a hurdy gurdy, which is odd, because it's heavily featured in one of my all time fav books.

Cuilin I hope Alyosha got to eat the soup and preserves. That was some serious conversation. Not sure I could eat while some was talking about the torture/suffering of children. 3mo

Ruthiella That image makes as much sense as anything else? 🤪 Probably honor or patriarchy prevents it, but Aleksey should have given the cash to Varvara Nikolayevna. She seems like a practical person and would have accepted it. 4mo

dabbe I have bad feelings about this. He confesses to his debauchery with a woman, but I don't think he'll be able to forgive her. And his was consensual! There are too many bad omens here: the rain, the rooster (who is white [pure] and red [stained], the guy who knows her that Angel punched, his family not showing up, all the d'Urberville places (isn't there ANYWHERE where their name is not involved?). Tess believes they're on equal footing, but ... 7mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I know! I feel like it‘s totally snowballing out of control! 7mo

Bookwormjillk Another day where it was hard not to read ahead! 7mo

Daisey @dabbe So true! The feelings of foreboding just keep piling up. I was surprised by his confession, but it didn‘t at all make me any more hopeful. 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly I hate the other dairymaids being so despondent over Angel, especially since earlier it felt like Hardy was encouraging the reader to laugh at their love for him. Now that just feels cruel ☹️ Also, I really wish I knew exactly what Tess said to Angel. She thinks of herself as culpable, so did she spin it to him that way, or did she explain it in a way that makes it obvious to Angel she was raped? 7mo

Cuilin @dabbe I think we‘re going to see some double standards here much like the body count discussion today. What makes it worse is that Tess didn‘t consent. 7mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder too if we'll ever know or if it'll be like a Shakespearean scene done offstage. 7mo

dabbe @Cuilin Whereas Angel totally did! If he doesn't forgive her ... 7mo

currentlyreadinginCO Resisting the urge to keep reading!! What a cliffhanger chapter 7mo

KAO After Angel‘s delayed confession (which took me by surprise!), I had hopes that he would be able to better understand what Tess had not been able to talk about (even though she tried to tell him earlier). I fear the worst, however. 7mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella @eeclayton #wellnowifeelsilly 11mo

dabbe I'm thinking huge class discrepancies (Mr. Emerson and his son George seem to be beneath Lucy and her cousin Charlotte), and could the fact that Lucy wants a view mean that she's looking for bigger horizons? 🤔 Charlotte seems like an old fuddy-duddy, too. 11mo

Morr_Books @dabbe Love your thoughts so far! I had a hard time getting passed the fact that everyone was saying to go to Prato. Prato was one of my least favorite places in the region, so maybe it was very different back then. Also, I kinda feel bad for George right now. He intrigues me more than other characters. 11mo

Middlemarch: a study of provincial life | George Eliot

so-so

This topped my list of books I was intimidated to read. I‘m sure I would have really disliked reading it if by myself but I came to quite enjoy my nightly ritual of reading a chapter and checking @BarkingMadRead ‘s post, hashtag, and comments. The pretty edition helped too 😊. While I would have needed to read this in an English course to be convinced of its merits, there were some little gems sprinkled in, like this last sentence that I loved.
