repost for @BarkingMadRead
Here is the #hashtagbrigade #buddyread schedule! Anyone can join at any time. I have a master tag list that I use once a month to see who is interested in the next book. I use that tag list to post every day. We read a chapter a day and I post every day. The hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the chapter!
pickYes, I'm reading random Georgian satirical pamphlets. I'm actually trying to trace a long chain of anonymous plagiarism, after a snide remark in Derenzy's Enchiridion about a cravat pamphlet. This one came much later, and is stolen from a French satirist. But that's okay, because I think he stole it from an Englishman before him. Anyway, it's all very silly and yet still has real and interesting insight into 1820s men's fashion.
Well, there's no way I'll be getting through all 758 pages of this short story collection before the year end, but I'll have a bit of a dip in to exercise the Christmas Spirit (or should that be exorcise? 👻)
@Trashcanman When you return to Litsy, George, I hope you'll forgive me for entertaining the dreaded Dickens! 😄
pickA story of choices, of misunderstandings and of repentance, East Lynne was immersive.
Many of the lines in this book are absolutely beautiful and so poignant. Your heart breaks and you feel conflicted by the familial struggles portrayed here.
As for the crime, that is sub-plot, it is pretty easy to guess who the villain is, right from the start of the book.
The narration was fabulous- charged and emotional - albeit a tad melodramatic.
