CatLass007 I‘m still wondering what is going on and what‘s next. When will something actually happen? I‘m going to allow #thebros chapters 7 and 8 of this section, and I will decide on Sunday if I want to continue. 11mo
Bookwormjillk Today‘s chapter was much better than yesterday‘s but I‘m confused why they needed to air all this dirty laundry in front of a bunch of random monks and an elder. 11mo
Ruthiella @IndoorDame 🤣 @Bookwormjillk I‘m confused too. Was the Elder supposed to referee or adjudicate? If so, what is the significance of his actions, kneeling before Dimitry? 11mo
5feet.of.fury Who else googled “anthropophagy”? Or was that not in everyone‘s translation 😂 11mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury either that wasn‘t in my translation or I glazed over it somehow 11mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead there‘s a lot to glaze over in this argument between Ivan & Dmitri. I think I‘ve given up on understanding the subtext & tried to settle for just understanding the individual words 😂 11mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame this chapter was absolutely high court drama aka Judge Judy and yes @5feet.of.fury I did 😳 Fyodor is a piece of work imo #potcallingthekettleblack 11mo
IndoorDame @5feet.of.fury I did 😬 there are some words I didn‘t need to know we had in English 11mo
Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I googled anthropophagy too! I assume it was ancestors worship and was startled to find it meant cannibalism .😱🤢 11mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame @mctrish I also got Jerry Springer vibes! Lol 11mo
IndoorDame @Cuilin hahaha 💯! 11mo
TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - for REAL 😂 11mo

Cuilin #WhereBeckyGo love that her maid robbed her “trinkets”. Dobbin and Amelia end up together, right? I think Georgy is unfortunately going to be very much like his father. 1y
AnnR @BarkingMadRead you are definitely not the only one wondering why Dobbin hasn't made an appearance yet. Meanwhile some of the 'Becky' chapters just seem like filler material. 1y

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I‘m worried it will be Dobbin and Becky 1y
Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I hope not!! 🤨 1y
willaful @Bookwormjillk Never! We will, as a group, invite a time machine and go whop the author's ass if that happens and force him to change it!

I'm glad Rawdon held firm, except it sucks that he's away from his son. :-(

Bookwormjillk @willaful it‘s a plan! 1y
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk Me too and 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 what the world?! 1y
TheBookHippie @Ann_Reads I agree with the filler part. 1y
mcctrish #finallydobbinshowsup #georgyisabrat I wonder if we are clear of Becky? 1y
dabbe @willaful Good plan; I'm with you! 🤣🤩🤣 1y
dabbe I hear the words of Queen Latifah in the finale of HAIRSPRAY: “It's time to wrap this mother up!“ Lots of loose ends, but they're starting to (maybe) tie together. 1y
willaful @mctrish I suspect Becky always turns back up, like a bad penny. Though there was a certain sense of finality about her small annuity.

There's a modern retelling called The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp, maybe we could do a buddy read of that sometime?

Ruthiella I think he might be on a boat between India and England? 🤔 1y
