Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 I expected some sort of blah blah blah because it was such a long chapter but instead we got Jerry Springer 10mo

currentlyreadinginCO The problem w this book is that no one calls anyone by their name and I always have to reread everything to find out what happened! It took me a couple rereads to understand who was locked out and where everyone was at the end of this chapter 😂😂. But despite my constant complaining I'm actually really enjoying this and don't think I would have gotten this far w.o the buddy read, SO 10mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 10mo

BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO my allergies are so bad today that it took me like an hour to actually get through it. I had to keep going back and reading it again. 10mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk WORD. 10mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I now am going back to nighttime reading with appropriate beverages…. This was ..😵‍💫🤪 ALOT. 10mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The nighttime beverages make ALL the difference. 😂 #whichmanisthepan #panpanpan #paniepanpanie #myheadhurts 10mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe so confusing 🤣 I just let it go, I figured they wouldn‘t be around long enough to matter 🤣 10mo

TheAromaofBooks As usual, spot-on meme usage here 😂 10mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks #mygooglegameisstrong 10mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤩😍😂 10mo

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks absolute truth 🤣🤣 10mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk this is Jerry Springer on steroids 🤣🤣 10mo

mcctrish @TheBookHippie I wish I had enough money to order a few cases of champagne to drink this with ( some blini and caviar would be a nice touch too) 10mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I don‘t like Vodka but it‘s probably what they drank 🤪👀😅 10mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s not enough champagne in the world for that chapter 🤣 it was so chaotic! 10mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead honestly I read this so loud in my head 🤕 10mo

Graciouswarriorprincess That was crazy! 10mo

dabbe That photo says it all. #perfection 11mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 11mo

Graciouswarriorprincess I agree…wtf? This book is something else! 11mo

TheBookHippie I‘m pretending I‘m sitting at the bar listening to a drunk tell a very long story….. 11mo

Cuilin I do wonder why a chapter like this is added into a novel, as it never seems to move the plot forward. Is to highlight the suffering as that‘s a big theme of the book? Who knows? It‘s all rather fascinating though, if a little 🍌 👖. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 11mo

Ruthiella So I listened to a pretty erudite book tuber about this book and he said the point of the novel is the age old question in Christian theology of why do humans suffer if there is a benevolent god looking out for us. So the plot is maybe all subservient to this idea and therefore occasionally whackadoodle. Also, FD had a son named Aleksey who died as a child, which was a huge blow. Generally FD‘s life was one of hardship, illness and grief. 11mo

Ruthiella Here‘s the link- though it is a long video. https://youtu.be/zpqES5V6iAg?si=Mt9Bwh8JgLfDneMZ 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella thank you for sharing!!! 11mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh that is fascinating. Thanks for sharing. 11mo

Cuilin @TheBookHippie save a barstool for me. 🥃🥃 (edited) 11mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella my friend told me to pretend I‘m reading Job from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible so … must be so! 11mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 🍻 11mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella thx for the link! 11mo

mcctrish Was Aloysha not supposed to deliver something to this second-captain? Money? Or did I miss something in the last chapter‘s yelling ?Biggest take away from this chapter? The insult “you‘re a little pile, and you smell vile” absolutely SAVAGE 11mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yeah, he was supposed to give him money! Ugh 11mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead something to look forward to tomorrow 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ 11mo

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Thanks for the link! 11mo

Aimeesue That IS the perfect illustration! 11mo

Bklover Still not caught up but not giving up! 11mo

currentlyreadinginCO Helpful info! @Ruthiella 11mo

Ruthiella @Bklover Hang in there! 😅 11mo

Bookwormjillk That was really a lot. At one point I think I blacked out and came to a few pages later but they were still talking about who knows what. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk it felt like 100 years 🤣 longest chapter ever 🤣 11mo

5feet.of.fury @Bookwormjillk 1/2 of the chapter was just 1 whole loooooooong paragraph! It was too much lol 11mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury 😂 I died a little inside when I saw that wall of text. 11mo

willaful I'll be honest, I gave up reading days ago. Still enjoying the comments though. 😊 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I‘m so glad I wasn‘t the only one! @willaful maybe it will get better and you can jump back in 🤞🏻🤞🏻 11mo

currentlyreadinginCO Yeah idk bout this church and state debate... 11mo

emz711 Loving the Monty Python picture ;) 11mo

TheBookHippie For a moment I thought I was back in Les Mis stuck in the sewers… 😵‍💫😅👀😮‍💨 11mo

KAO Today‘s word that sent me scurrying for a definition: Ultramontanism. (From Britannica.com “in Roman Catholicism, a strong emphasis on papal authority and on centralization of the church.”) Whew! What a chapter! 11mo

BarkingMadRead @emz711 as soon as someone said tripping monks, i thought of this. I mean, they‘re not tripping, but still. I kind of wanted to whack myself in the head for this whole chapter so it totally fit. 11mo

TheAromaofBooks I was expecting this book to be depressing; was not anticipating being bored to death 😂 11mo

dabbe Imagine how everyone would have continued going on & on & on & on if they really were tripping. Holy guacamole, was that a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg chapter. #toomuchtimeontheirhands 💤💤💤 11mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I laughed way too hard at this 🤣 11mo

CatLass007 Okay, I just finished listening to this and I am lost. I can‘t really figure out who is making which argument and I‘m not sure I care anymore. But I kind of understand the arguments. Socialism and Communism were on the rise and as we all know there was a revolution in Russia. Two things that happened were the murders of the royal family and the abolishment of religion. This argument is a foreshadowing of those events. 11mo

Daisey @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella So long! I also tuned out for a bit. This book brought us in with a couple short chapters and now this. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Daisey #itsatrap 11mo

mcctrish Firstly, crossing by my legs, if ever there was a blah, it was followed by a blah, blah, blah. Secondly, recrossing my legs, I had forgotten that in order for Russia to abolish religion, it had to have it ( in spades) @CatLass007 is right with her points. Thirdly, more recrossing of legs, @willaful I laughed out loud at your comment #letskeepchurchandstateseperate (edited) 11mo

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks OMG that made me laugh! 😆🤣😂 Bring on the depressing misery! 11mo

Aimeesue @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 11mo

Vansa Sorry if I'm late to this, is there a readalong happening of this? I would like to join! Is it a chapter a day? I haven't been on Litsy in a while! 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Vansa yes! We are reading a chapter a day! I can add you to the tag list if you‘d like 11mo

Vansa Please add me! I'll catch up by this weekend. Which translation would you recommend? 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Vansa oh gosh, I have no idea! Maybe do a hashtag search of #hashtagbrigade and see what everyone has? I know there are a few different versions and some of the wording has been different, but I don‘t think it‘s been anything too crazy 11mo

SamAnne Catching up. The Bros aren‘t the most enticing Mexican beach read. 😂 But I like this chapter from the standpoint of what ends up happening in Russia. 11mo
