Ruthiella This is why I am not re-reading with you all. It‘s interminable! 😂 Just wait…the whole thing re-boots and it‘s ANOTHER creepy castle and ANOTHER hero. 1mo
dabbe I am now way behind. I also count the pages before I start, and the one that had 30+ chapters just made me go 😳, and that's where I'm at. I don't read the poems, and now I'm skipping the PAGES UPON PAGES UPON PAGES of descriptions of mountains, blah blah, mountains, blah blah, #verdantverdure blah blah, #sublime blah blah ... Emily finally arrives at Udolpho like 250 pages in? 😴 1mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella NOOOOOOOOO 😩😩😭 1mo
mcctrish @dabbe I don‘t think anyone reads the poems, openers, ballads or whatever they are called😆 if they are supposed to tie in with the non-stop crying I sure as hell can‘t see it. The long chapters really do crush one‘s soul and its so easy to get behind. Just skip ahead - you have missed crying, fainting, the count was stabbed, macaroni is double dealing everyone, the aunt is a bitch, the trees are green, the castle is haunted. 1mo
dabbe @mcctrish You've given me back hours to my life. Gracias. 🤗 1mo

Daisey I read this a few years ago and had no interest in rereading, but I‘m very entertained by the posts as you all read it! 1mo
mcctrish Oh @Daisey no one should have to suffer through this twice 😆😆 1mo
