The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexandre Dumas

#tlt #threelistThursday

Faves: tagged
Pride and Prejudice
Frankenstein

I‘ve read and really liked David Copperfield. I expect to read Dickens‘ other books this year for #whattheDickens and I‘ll probably read Mansfield Park someday

I recently bought The Three Musketeers so I‘m looking forward to that one

Not a huge fan of the books I read in high school and college: The Scarlet Letter and Candide

dabbe

ChaoticMissAdventures I really really struggled years ago when I read with

Candide

dabbe I was surprised GREAT EX wasn't on the list, but I adored BLEAK HOUSE. I'm still working through NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

I‘m counting Floss because I‘m currently reading it with #hashtagbrigade and it has to count for something! I did start Ivanhoe that‘s on this list but I‘ve barely touched it so I left it off #TLT #Threelistthursday

Ruthiella I think it‘s fair to count The Mill on the Floss. 👍 9h

mcctrish @Ruthiella we are closer to the end than the start 8h

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

In addition to Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, I also enjoyed The Last of the Mohicans. This was a difficult one this week.

Play? @Kshakal @BethM @rretzler @Lauredhel @CaroPi

BkClubCare Yeah,… no. I read the first few pages of Last of the Mohicans and decided “the movie is better” (I could be wrong, could maybe someday try again!) 10h

BethM I can‘t with classical lit 😆I‘m off to take it now! 9h

Gulliver�s travels | Jonathan Swift

@Dabbe Finally a #ThreeListThursday that i can do well on! I've only been reading books from this list for ten years 🙄

I'm tagging Gulliver's travels. After buying a FOURTH copy of it, I realized I needed an online record of what books I own and started my book social media journey (godreads-->librarything-->Litsy)

I read Dangerous Liason on the beach, enjoyed it.
I read Tale of Genji on the subway, loved it
And I still haven't read GT 😂

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

I chose the poetry class over the lit class for this era in college. 🤣 Random thoughts:
💚 I was one of the only people in my class who loved Candide when we read it in high school. This still baffles me.
🩵 I saw the netflix series based on House of Usher, and it was so strange. I really want to read the story now.
💙 I hadn't heard of A Dream of Red Mansions before today, and now it's on my tbr.
#tlt #threelistthursday @dabbe

Ruthiella I read Candide in college for a French History class and loved it! 10h

dabbe “House of Usher“ is one of my faves of Poe. You'll love it! If you get a chance to see the campy movie by Roger Corman from the 1960s, that's a fun one, too. It stars Vincent Price as Roderick Usher. You can see it free on YouTube! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEbH7mZ8Vk

#threelistthursday #tlt

Pretty crappy score. My face reading the books listed from the 1700s: 😳! I'm hoping to do better as we move chronologically forward in time! 🤣

Librarybelle I got 16, but there are so many I‘m in the middle of but did not count because I did not finish them. Some I‘ve not heard of before and others are on my to read list. 😂 13h

BarkingMadRead 27 for me (I counted two that I‘m currently reading) 13h

lil1inblue Uh oh. This era does not bode well for me... 😂 13h

See All 50 Comments

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, 22 only! Jane Austen saved me on this one. So many I‘d not heard of but look interesting! Remembered how much I loved Woman in White. Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💛 12h

CSeydel Just 11. Not bad for a STEM major, though, right? … right?? 12h

CSeydel Probably another 11 on my TBR. But most of them I hadn‘t heard of 😔 12h

Amor4Libros I got 1…Moby Dick! 🤣🤣 12h

dabbe @Librarybelle 🎯🩵🎯 Most from the 1700s, I'm like 😳! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Thank goodness for the #hashtagbrigade! We were able to count quite a few! (and I included MILL ON THE FLOSS since we will be finished soon). Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

dabbe @lil1inblue 🎯🩵🎯! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me #ditto! I adored WOMAN IN WHITE! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

dabbe @CSeydel R.I.G.H.T.! 🤣😍🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

dabbe @CSeydel 🎯🩵🎯! 12h

dabbe @Amor4Libros And I only read “Call me Ishmael“ and called it a day! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 12h

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Got 22, which is not too bad for a Lit major focusing on contemporary texts! 12h

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I think you'll kick some serious ass as we move forward in years! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵📚🩵 12h

willaful Only 20 for me! Would be a bit higher if I had participated in *all* the #HashtagBrigade reads. ;-) Nothing I especially want to read but certainly might if the brigade does them. :-) 11h

peaKnit I know face slaps are not allowed but @dabbe…I got 4 😂 thank gosh for Jane Austen. 11h

shortsarahrose I got 12, which is honestly better than I expected (thanks mostly to actually liking 19th century American lit - Melville, Hawthorne, Poe). Sorrows of Young Werther should count twice cause I read it in German 😆 (surprised that with three Goethe texts on the list, Faust wasn‘t one of them! I guess maybe because it‘s technically a play?) 11h

Bklover 18- thanks to #hashtagbrigade and Jane Austen. There are quite a few I hadn‘t even heard of! 11h

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 11h

Bookwormjillk Lucky 13. Grateful for#PemberLittens and #HashtagBrigade 🤣 10h

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I definitely counted Mill on the Floss. We‘re almost done! 10h

Read4life Thanks for the tag!! 💙📚💙 10h

tpixie @Daisey 9h

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! It is too bad they couldn't find a few more 😂 thanks for the tag! 9h

Deblovestoread Thanks for the tag! I‘m going to get my book out before I do the survey as my memory was much better back then. 9h

Daisey @tpixie I went through and have read 39 (including currently reading Mill on the Floss). I‘ll have to watch for these the next few weeks. 8h

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade saved my sorry ass! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe @peaKnit I think the only one I read from the 1700s was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. The others I was like 😳. 🤣 We'll get better as the list moves forward a few years!
Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe @shortsarahrose Yep, I think plays don't count, though they should. And you should count it twice! I read COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO in French, and I counted it twice. I needed all the help I could get! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe @Bklover IKR? 1700s was like 😳!!! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 😍 8h

dabbe @Bookwormjillk IKR? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I did, too! 🤣 8h

dabbe @Read4life YW! 😍 8h

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures 🤣😍🤣 8h

dabbe @Deblovestoread You have this book? How cool is that? I'm thinking of getting it! 😍 8h

dabbe @Daisey You beat my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 8h

AnnCrystal Thank You For The Tag 📚😉👍🏼💝. (edited) 8h

dabbe @AnnCrystal YW! 😍 8h

Lesliereadsalot Thanks for the tag but I can barely remember what I had for lunch let alone books from my far past! 🩷 8h

AnnCrystal Whispering again...👀...Zero!

I did watch many as movies, but it's been years.

1 - Carmilla. Long Time TBR book (I'm horrible, still need to read Dracula too).

Movies

2- North and South I saw one version of this many years ago and fell in love with the story

3- Orson Welles In Jane Eyre 💝💝💝.

📚💝. (edited) 7h

melissajayne 17/100 7h

rwmg 39 including 2 I DNF-ed (Clarissa and Tristam Shandy).
7h

Eggs 6 🙀🙄!!! 5h

julesG I might have read 13 books from that list. 4h

julesG @shortsarahrose I had similar thoughts about Goethe and was wondering why a few others were missing. Them being plays might be the reason. 4h

Amiable I don‘t even care about my score —the fact that I could check off “Clarissa” caused me to shout “YES!!” and pump my fist in celebration. 🎉 ☝🏼😀 2h

tpixie 12. It said the average was 18! 2h
