Cinfhen, arlenefinnigan

arlenefinnigan I tried to read this. Bailed after 3 months. 5y

Librarybelle @arlenefinnigan Good to know! 5y

Lcsmcat A voice for the other side - I loved it. Check out the #myvodkabromance comments from an old buddy read before you decide not to read it. 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled It‘s worth it!! 5y

Librarybelle Thanks, @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled ! 5y

underthebelljar I‘ve read it and absolutely loved it. I do recommend the translation by Pevear and Volokhonsky though! 5y

Librarybelle Thanks for the recommendation, @BookishJess ! 5y

You Can't Go Home Again | Thomas Wolfe

Any interest in a buddy read of this book? As a native North Carolinian I‘m ashamed to say I haven‘t read it yet. I‘m thinking something very informal, like #magicmountain and #myvodkabromance were, and starting in September? Give me a holler if you‘re interested.

Butterfinger I'm interested. 5y

Lcsmcat @Butterfinger Great! 5y

Butterfinger @Lcsmcat I ordered my book for September. 5y

Lcsmcat Excellent! Let me know when it arrives. 5y

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: A Novel | Victor Hugo

Happy May, #Hugonuts! Are you ready to dive in? I‘ve never hosted a buddy read before so I‘d like to propose some flexibility. If the sections seem too long for the amount of time given, we could adjust the size chunks we read, or we could make this a free-form read like #myvodkabromance was. Jump in and start reading, and let me know what you think.

The Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

pick

976 pages, 2 translations, 6 weeks, and copious amounts of google-spark-note-analysis later, I'm done! I wish I could spend a day inside the complex mind of Dostoevsky bc damn, there was quite a lot of shit going down in there 😜🤯

I'm using this for #booked2018 #blameitonlitsy bc if not for the #myvodkabromance crew I never would have glanced at this book!

The Karamazov Brothers | Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ignat Avsey

Erm, yeah, I‘m still reading this. It won‘t be long now, I think I‘m able to complete it by month end, after all. 😆
Enjoying my journey, wish I could keep on reading and neglect my family.
#myvodkabromance

Oops! I almost forgot we were reading this, @Mdargusch @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @Meredith3 .

I‘m a few chapters into it and I can feel a binge-read coming on. 😮

Leftcoastzen Oh Persephone!😊😊❤️ 6y

Meredith3 Def a binge read!!! 6y

emilyhaldi I haven't forgotten but I'm swamped with #myvodkabromance, Six Four, and Mansfield Park all at the same time 🤯 not sure what my problem is 😂 but I‘m hoping to get to it in a couple days!!! 6y

Reviewsbylola You‘re a glutton for punishment. @emilyhaldi 6y

Reviewsbylola This is an easy one to binge on Leah! I wanted to finish last night but the words started swimming so I had to throw in the towel. I‘m back at it now though! 💪🏻 6y

Reviewsbylola Also, this is a great picture!! 6y

Mdargusch Great photo! I can‘t wait to see what you think! 6y

Six Four | Hideo Yokoyama

#TheDayAfterTomorrow I hope to have made some progress on these two. I‘m hoping to finish this week‘s volume of Les Mis, and get closer to the halfway mark of the tagged book. But both of them are grapping my attention, and when I‘m reading one, I would rather be reading the other 🤷‍♀️ #thestruggleisreal

#SeptemberDanes

Cinfhen

Cathythoughts Good luck👍🏻you can do this 6y

Cinfhen Well that's promising 👍🏼two page turners at once and BOTH are #chunksters 6y

Kalalalatja @Cathythoughts thanks! 😘 @Cinfhen I really hadn‘t expected it from either of them, so I‘m pleasantly surprised 👍👍 6y

GatheringBooks oh em gee - that copy of les miz is gorgeous!!!! 6y

Sace I'm in love with that Les Mis edition. Is the cover just as gorgeous as the spine? 6y

emilyhaldi Yay glad Six Four is moving along. I am still trying to get through #myvodkabromance too 🤦🏻‍♀️ it‘s hard reading two chunksters at once!! (edited) 6y

Kalalalatja @GatheringBooks @RestlessFickleBookHoarder it is gorgeous! It is the Barnes & Noble leatherbound edition. I‘ll post a pic of the cover again at some point, it is all golden and stunning 😍 6y

Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi it really is! Also, I‘m not really good at reading more books at once, so I‘m definitely challenging myself 😄 6y

The Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

“The visitor's check trousers were of excellent cut, but were too light in color and too tight for the present fashion. His soft fluffy white hat was out of keeping with the season.”
Why is the devil always wearing checked pants in Russian lit? The Master and Margarita did this also, so I don‘t think it‘s an issue of the fashion of the day.
#myvodkabromance

GingerAntics Checked pants? That‘s certainly interesting. 6y

saresmoore Perhaps Bulgakov was borrowing from Dostoevsky? 6y

Lcsmcat @saresmoore Maybe so. I tried asking Professor Google, but the images that come up for Russian devil checked pants are not safe for work! 6y

saresmoore Oh goodness! Hahaha! 6y

emilyhaldi Lol 6y
