Bklover Perfect photo too! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Bklover it‘s the first thing I thought of when she talked about everyone rolling around in the dirt 🤣 2mo

AllDebooks I was feeling sorry for them, being sent out into the world at 12. But, OMG,I bet those parents were pulling their hair out! 😱 2mo

willaful This reminded me so much of Understood Betsy -- though weirdly, more the city school than Betsy's idyllic country school. Also brought to mind the Anne books, and the Little House books... it's fun to read this with a strong background in children's literature. 😁 2mo

AllDebooks Best photo match, ever 😅 2mo

mcctrish Glad to see nothing‘s changed #savages 🤣🤣 2mo

Ruthiella This chapter reminded me of the schoolroom battle portrayed in Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s

Farmer Boy

dabbe I cracked up when Miss Higgs told the class she wanted to be their friend, and the students “scented weakness ... from one whose office it was to rule.“ There's a reason why teachers don't smile until 2nd semester. 😂

My first year teaching I had an 8th grade class from hell. I literally begged them to be good and promised them an ice cream party EVERY Friday if they were. Did it work? Nope. Major lesson learned. By me. 😂 2mo

KAO As a retired teacher myself, I was looking forward to this chapter! I am fascinated by accounts of school life from the past! I had a distant relative who was a teacher in a one room schoolhouse in Canada many decades ago—and man oh man, but she had stories to tell! (edited) 2mo

Bookwormjillk I was kind of happy Laura wasn‘t top in her class. Nothing wrong with smart girls of course but it seems like every girl in every book ends up number one in her class. Kind of relatable to read about one who was good at some things and not at others. 2mo

The Idiot | Fyodor Dostoevsky

#NuYear #Savages @Cinfhen @TrishB 🖤N. B. Content of above is disturbing 🖤 also @Billypar another quote from the Idiot. At the Princes birthday & the champagne is flowing Lebedev holds forth on cannibalism in the 12th century. ( part 3 , chapter 4) 🤓 #ReadingTheIdiot

TrishB 😱😱 7y

Reggie A little off topic but there is this great cannibalism movie called We Are What We Are. It‘s great for a late night creepy feeling kind of movie. 7y

Cathythoughts @TrishB I know 😳😱 7y

Cathythoughts @Reggie sounds fairly creepy 😳. I‘ll be sure not to watch it alone ..... & maybe not too late at night ! 7y

Cinfhen 😱😱😱 7y

Cinfhen @Reggie have you read or seen this book/ movie...really extraordinary and it‘s handled so beautifully in the book

Alive

Cathythoughts @Cinfhen 😳they go on to discuss this whole idea , as bottles of champagne are opening by the minute .....mad ! 7y

Cinfhen Definitely NOT for me.....#squimish 7y

batsy Love the humour in this passage - "very few compared to the number of clerics he had eaten"... 7y

Cathythoughts @batsy I know , and the conversation gets so bizarre 7y

Billypar @Cathythoughts Good choice- what savage would target eating monks to the exclusion of the lay public (excepting a few babies)? @batsy Despite the disturbing content, the whole drunken anecdote is pretty funny. Lebedev's story comes in response to others at the party asking him to explain why he hates the railroads(!) 7y

Cathythoughts @Billypar @batsy 😳😂😂What ???? Such crazy talk 😂it seems really funny sharing it . When I read it on my own I was more 😳. It‘s outrageous (edited) 7y
