I‘ve watched the Masterpiece series a few times and loved it. This book is a big long read but I really want to tackle it.

BarbaraBB It is so good!! 3y

I ❤️ the old black-and-white Masterpiece version of the tagged book (although this picture of the cast is too early in the series to include the adorable Susan Hampshire as Fleur). #tvadaption #tvadaptation #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost

What little animal is made into Turkish Delight? I‘m a bit worried about that part but otherwise the quote is hilarious. This entire book is hilarious. What a treat.

tessavi Maybe they use carmine for the coloring 🤔 6y
Vinjii @tessavi The book is from like 1906 so I‘m assuming it‘s that 👍 and here I was imagining added protein 😂 (edited) 6y

Vinjii @rubyslippersreads I have here something called Volume 1. Also saying it‘s 1-3. The Man in Property. In Chancery. To Let. Am I right assuming these are the first three of the 9? (edited) 6y

Got this giant book puzzle done yesterday while watching Forsyte Saga.

benchley1 @rubyslippersreads It had been awhile since I've watched it. I missed it. Not Soames f that guy!! 6y
rubyslippersreads @benchley1 Were you watching the old b/w version or the newer one? I've seen both and thought Soames was even worse in the second version. And I ❤️ Fleur (Susan Hampshire) in the first version. 6y
benchley1 @rubyslippersreads the new one with Rupert Graves. Yum. 6y

My current read on the left. The first volume in an epic fantasy series by Janny Wurts (Curse of the Mistwraith) and the first read for 2018. The Forsyte Saga! It‘s 900 pages and I don‘t dare and try to pull it into this year because I don‘t like dragging semi-finished books across the finish line 😜 also my Cocker Spaniel Lola is terrible on photos because she‘s just a black blob.

Leniverse I have a couple of tomes still that I meant to read this year, but I'm not starting anything over 500 pages in December. They'll just have to wait for next year, as I like to start fresh. 6y
Vinjii @Leniverse Yes! The only thing I dragged over last year was Infinite Jest which I feel will become my nemesis 😂 6y
Leniverse Well, I have some "collected fiction" etc that will get carried over. And I guess my nemesis is The Second Sex. I read part one last year and haven't touched it this year. ? 6y

A #familyaffair saga published in several volumes between 1906 and 1921 that is simply one of the best! A compelling work of fiction that shows how everything was starting to change vis-a-vis marriage, sexuality and gender in the early part of the twentieth century. Unputdownable.

JenP Great one! 7y
Abailliekaras Love this! For my 40th I requested books instead of gifts; my aunt gave me an old edition of The Man of Property as it had been my grandmother's favourite. Can't believe I forgot it for this prompt! Haven't read the others as I want to find the matching Collins editions ... #booknerdproblems 7y
Cinfhen Well played 👏🏻👏🏻😻❣️ 7y

This is the great story of the Forsytes. Their story contains wars, money, feuds, marriages and deaths, all centered in one way or another around Soames Forsyte and his (ex) wife Irene. I really did not know at times whose side I was on. No one is either good or bad, everyone is painfully human. Except for the beautiful Irene, whose thoughts we never know although her role is so important to the story and the people surrounding her. #1001books

Rotary book sale take 2 part 3. My small fiction haul! The theme here is #1001books that are slow and long and thus hard to get through library copies of!

Audrey Forsyte Saga has been on my tbr for years. I have the soft back that I planned on having as a disposable travel book. Then ebooks happened. So I have a free down load of this book via Gutenberg. Still unread. But I hear it's really good. 7y

I have so many favorite classics, and the word "classic" is a loaded term that you or I could define most any way we want. Anyway, I read this multi-volume novel (published between 1906 and 1921) on my teeny-tiny iPhone 4 about four or five years ago and was completely and utterly enthralled.

#faveclassics #somethingforsept

DreesReads I really want to read this, and keep putting it off, for no apparent reason. 8y
shawnmooney @AudreyMorris I can't recommend it highly enough. It's such a spectacular bridge from the 19th to the 20th century, and tackles sexuality and love and marriage and family and gender and cheating and all those good things in a way that shocked me in a sit-up-and-pay-close-attention way, reading in the year 2012 or thereabouts… :-) 8y
Sara_Planz One of my absolute favorites. It's so juicy!! So much family drama! 8y

Dogearedcopy I had old Scribner copies hanging around; but gave them away after a couple if years having dat unread in my TBR stacks. A couple weeks ago, I saw a boxed set at an antique mall that was tempting... And now I see it posted on litsy! I think perhaps "Gutenberg's Ghost" is trying to tell me something! ? 8y
Abailliekaras This was my grandmother's fave classic & given to me recently - I've finished Man of Property and loved it - look forward to the rest! 8y
LeahBergen Coincidentally, I am almost finished watching the 2003 (?) BBC miniseries right now! 8y

A behemoth of a book I'm currently reading, well, more like picked it back up. School is keeping me so busy but I needed a mental and visual break from my computer and device screens. I'm not very far in this book but I am throughly enjoying it. The slower pace is a nice change.

MrBook Wow, that is a big one! 8y
