BarkingMadReadI‘ve said this on a few posts by you Pemberlittens, I gave this a pick, but it‘s a soft pick. This could have been so much shorter and still conveyed everything George wanted to convey 🤷🏻♀️2y
BookwormjillkCongrats all, and thanks@barkingmadread . I liked the beginning of this book so much better than the end. I think soft pick is a fair rating.2y
ravenleeWow, I‘ve never heard of the Barkley Marathons - which is funny, as I married a Barkley (no relation, I think) and my in-laws live in Tennessee. My SIL and her husband frequent Frozen Head on their hiking expeditions. Weird!2y
CoffeeNBooksHmm. I'm not sure how I feel about this book at this point. Parts of it were interesting, parts of it weren't. I have a lot of love for many of the classics, but this one not so much.@BarkingMadRead - I agree that Eliot could have made her point with a shorter book. 🤔2y
TheAromaofBooksI would never have made it through without your hashtags@BarkingMadRead !!! I can see why this has never been as popular as Austen's novels. None of these characters were particularly likable or relatable - definitely don't see myself daydreaming about any of the men I met in these pages! 😂2y
TheAromaofBooks@BarkingMadRead - Literally none! And honestly I didn't think any of the women were particularly prizes either! 😆2y
Clare-DragonflyI guess nobody loves Fred and Mary like I do? 😅 I definitely wouldn‘t say I love this book—Rosamond and Lydgate give me too much anxiety—but Fred and Mary!!!2y
kwmg40Thanks for hosting,@BarkingMadRead! I loved the novel, as well as the commentary from everyone here.2y
JamieArcCongrats to you all! 🎉🎉. I got quite behind when I didn‘t want to take this chunkster on vacation, but I will carry on and look forward to each chapter‘s post as a reward!2y
