5feet.of.fury 1 paragraph that was 3.5 pages long. And that‘s all I got out of it, Ivan wrote a poem lol 13mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury it was a little mind numbing 13mo

Cuilin Just realized I put my comment on the wrong post. 🤦‍♀️ seriously all that talk of cruelty to children. I don‘t know how Alyosha eat his soup and preserves. 13mo

AllDebooks @5feet.of.fury 😅🤣 13mo

SamAnne That chapter was just too much…. 13mo

TheAromaofBooks Like I kind of got that Ivan was trying to prove that God doesn't really exist because suffering does, particularly the suffering of innocents. But I also felt like he was definitely ignoring/glossing over some critical pro-faith arguments while pretending like he was addressing them. 13mo

mcctrish Shut. Up. Ivan. #ivanhasastupidexpressiononhisface @Cuilin exactly! Aloysha finally gets to sit down and eat something and fucking Ivan goes off on child abuse 13mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks yes! 13mo

Bookwormjillk That was dark you guys 13mo

currentlyreadinginCO This poem is going to be something 😂 13mo

BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO #beveryafraid 🤣 13mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 13mo

mcctrish @currentlyreadinginCO it better 13mo

Aimeesue Ursula K. Le Guin based a story on one of the ideas Ivan tosses out in this chapter - "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." (edited) 13mo

Bookwormjillk That was really a lot. At one point I think I blacked out and came to a few pages later but they were still talking about who knows what. 14mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk it felt like 100 years 🤣 longest chapter ever 🤣 14mo

5feet.of.fury @Bookwormjillk 1/2 of the chapter was just 1 whole loooooooong paragraph! It was too much lol 14mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury 😂 I died a little inside when I saw that wall of text. 14mo

willaful I'll be honest, I gave up reading days ago. Still enjoying the comments though. 😊 14mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I‘m so glad I wasn‘t the only one! @willaful maybe it will get better and you can jump back in 🤞🏻🤞🏻 14mo

currentlyreadinginCO Yeah idk bout this church and state debate... 14mo

emz711 Loving the Monty Python picture ;) 14mo

TheBookHippie For a moment I thought I was back in Les Mis stuck in the sewers… 😵‍💫😅👀😮‍💨 14mo

KAO Today‘s word that sent me scurrying for a definition: Ultramontanism. (From Britannica.com “in Roman Catholicism, a strong emphasis on papal authority and on centralization of the church.”) Whew! What a chapter! 14mo

BarkingMadRead @emz711 as soon as someone said tripping monks, i thought of this. I mean, they‘re not tripping, but still. I kind of wanted to whack myself in the head for this whole chapter so it totally fit. 14mo

TheAromaofBooks I was expecting this book to be depressing; was not anticipating being bored to death 😂 14mo

dabbe Imagine how everyone would have continued going on & on & on & on if they really were tripping. Holy guacamole, was that a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg chapter. #toomuchtimeontheirhands 💤💤💤 14mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I laughed way too hard at this 🤣 14mo

CatLass007 Okay, I just finished listening to this and I am lost. I can‘t really figure out who is making which argument and I‘m not sure I care anymore. But I kind of understand the arguments. Socialism and Communism were on the rise and as we all know there was a revolution in Russia. Two things that happened were the murders of the royal family and the abolishment of religion. This argument is a foreshadowing of those events. 14mo

Daisey @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella So long! I also tuned out for a bit. This book brought us in with a couple short chapters and now this. 14mo

BarkingMadRead @Daisey #itsatrap 14mo

mcctrish Firstly, crossing by my legs, if ever there was a blah, it was followed by a blah, blah, blah. Secondly, recrossing my legs, I had forgotten that in order for Russia to abolish religion, it had to have it ( in spades) @CatLass007 is right with her points. Thirdly, more recrossing of legs, @willaful I laughed out loud at your comment #letskeepchurchandstateseperate (edited) 14mo

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks OMG that made me laugh! 😆🤣😂 Bring on the depressing misery! 14mo

Aimeesue @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 14mo

Vansa Sorry if I'm late to this, is there a readalong happening of this? I would like to join! Is it a chapter a day? I haven't been on Litsy in a while! 14mo

BarkingMadRead @Vansa yes! We are reading a chapter a day! I can add you to the tag list if you‘d like 14mo

Vansa Please add me! I'll catch up by this weekend. Which translation would you recommend? 14mo

BarkingMadRead @Vansa oh gosh, I have no idea! Maybe do a hashtag search of #hashtagbrigade and see what everyone has? I know there are a few different versions and some of the wording has been different, but I don‘t think it‘s been anything too crazy 14mo

SamAnne Catching up. The Bros aren‘t the most enticing Mexican beach read. 😂 But I like this chapter from the standpoint of what ends up happening in Russia. 13mo
