One cannot know what a man really is by the end of a fortnight." - Ch 2.

#Pemberlittens anyone who knows me for a fortnight knows my love of collecting editions of Pride and Prejudice. ? ??

Crinoline_Laphroaig My first time reading P & P was a Library copy. Next time I able to go to a book store, which back then was at most a couple times a year, I bought Bantam Classic mass market edition. It costs $5.95 now so then it was probably $2.99.

Crinoline_Laphroaig At some point I bought a fancy leather bound edition and gave my paperback away. Younger me thought I could only have one copy. But once I started collecting I replaced it and then after the house fire I replaced it once again.

repost for @BarkingMadRead

Here is the #hashtagbrigade #buddyread schedule! Anyone can join at any time. I have a master tag list that I use once a month to see who is interested in the next book. I use that tag list to post every day. We read a chapter a day and I post every day. The hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the chapter!

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing!! 58m

"Because she was only 15 and busy with her growing up, Lucia's periods of reflection were brief and infrequent; but this morning she felt weighted with responsibility."

#TheYellowFace

Hi, Sherlockians~
#2 is coming right up! See link below for additional information + a summary (spoiler alert!). Note: “The Cardboard Box“ was actually published between “Silver Blaze“ and “The Yellow Face,“ but the story was completely omitted in the first British publication of THE MEMOIRS OF SH, and we're following that order. We'll discuss why when we read “Box“ later on.

Fragments | Heraclitus
Pickpick

The book is full of clever aphorisms. I noticed within these fragments (often 3rd or 4th hand) the origins of many themes and tropes in Western media over the intervening 2500 years since these fragments began to appear. A quick, but dense read and essential for anyone interested in philosophy.

As I Lay Dying | William Faulkner

I can‘t capture this. It's just doing a whole lot of stuff, from many different approaches, and it all works. Sometimes it‘s really funny. But mostly I was absorbed. I was reading at a crawl, slowly wading through words that were demanding to me that I slow down and wade through them, and experience them, think of their sound. It‘s just…something. In some non-emotional but deep way I find myself very attached to this. Quite a book.
