Love both the book and retelling. 💙

Cyrano is everything I didn't realize I needed right now as there's different elements that caught my attention, kept me reading at a slower pace to keep up with the older English but I was captivated by it.

It's a short play that has a full cast of characters each with a different voice and tone and having read this play, it's nice to see the intro at the beginning to set the scene and it let my imagination run.

Just watched "Cyrano," based on the play based on the life of Cyrano de Bergerac. The story, about a man who, believing himself worthy of love because of his looks, writes letters to his love for another man to claim, has been adapted numerous times. I really enjoyed this musical version, though it seemed to lack. It wasn't funny enough to be farcical and there wasn't any dramatic urgency until the third act. Dinklage definitely carried the film.

Stop! You haven‘t paid your fifteen sols!

The 9th in my Modern Library Classics Challenge for the year (I'm a month behind). I'd not read the play before but of course know the story - who doesn't? I wasn't prepared for just how excellent the language was, and how captivating it would be. Sorry I waited so long to read it. My copy is 93 years old and in pretty delicate shape. I read a few pages, then turned to an online copy to finish it.

All right #LMPBC #GroupV I‘m leaning towards the tagged book for my contribution to the group, and here are several other choices I have on hand. Anyone have any opinions either way? What say you?

Have you seen the musical adaptation of Cyrano? I ❤️ it. It‘s less of a comedy than the play, & I miss the development of the friendships. However, it remains a beautiful adaptation of the core story. I adore the musical element; Roxanne‘s songs are perfect. The best song of the film tho is of 3 cadets pre-battle. If you haven‘t read the play, do! The English translation is witty & fun. Even my HNR LA 10 students love the play. #playtoscreen

This book was a quick read. I really enjoyed reading this story. It is definitely going to be one of my favorites from this year. It was beautifully written and humorous too. I would strongly recommend reading this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've read this in French so maybe the experience was different if you read a translation of this play. The story has become one of my favorite plays to read and it's also what got me into reading more romance so I definitely recommend checking it out. If you like this play, Netflix has actually made a modern version of it named The Half of It which I absolutely adored so check that one out also.

Cyrano de Bergerac is a swashbuckling poet with a monstrous nose—a character who makes more enemies than friends and who practices swordplay and wordplay at the same time, composing poems against pride and puncturing pomposity with a pun.
Cyrano‘s nose is his red badge of courage and the symbol of his nobility and absurdity. This is why Cyrano is the quintessential romantic hero...

Did someone say #serenade? Of course I think of Cyrano. (Could he fit a Covid mask over that nose?) #AcrossApril @Eggs

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

1. I've got too many on the go again! The Dispossessed, Genji, Literary Women, Broken Stars, Emma
2. Read 5 books in Nov, all very enjoyable. Favourite of all would have to be Cyrano
3. Finish all current reads! Lol. Also The Hobbit for chapter a day readalong, and Christmas Days for book club, then Dune.

Afternoon plans ❤️

Hope to finish today. I've been enjoying reading this so much! I grew up watching the Gérard Depardieu movie and can't help but picture it as I read certain scenes.

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast @Cinfhen

Feels about as accurate as most forecasts...
Finished:
Traitors - excellent standalone fantasy
The Dutch House - my first Ann Patchett, lived up to the hype, excellent audio
Progress:
Genji - got 5% further
Cyrano (play) - loving so far
Broken Stars (Chinese short sff in trans) - first story was so good

Next week, plan to continue with Genji and Cyrano, and start The Dispossessed by LeGuin.

The most handsome member of book club today! I love my "loosely structured" club where we just gather to discuss the books we've each read recently and give each other recommendations. Came away with this classic play I've been meaning to read! #bookclub #weekendreads

I will always love this love story and its tragic hero Cyrano. As you can tell, this copy has been with me for quite some time 💛💜💙

Welp, I'm still crushing HARD on Noah Centineo (😍) and now there's a SECOND Netflix movie featuring him to watch. Sierra Burgess is a Loser, a modern retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story. I don't love it as much as To All the Boys I've Loved Before (you'd die if you knew how many times I've watched that one at this point 😂) but Noah is still as adorbs as can be *sigh*

By far Cyrano was my favorite play we read in school. Absolutely loved his wit and panache ❤👃🏻 #paris #augustisatrip @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

My favorite high school required reading, with my favorite Cyrano, Kevin Kline. 😊 #requiredreadingredo

The 15 YO says she likes The Crucible because it‘s got some sick burns, so I shared my favorite string of put downs from literature when I was her age. “Sir, your nose is. . .hmm. . .it is. . .very big!” (Act 1, Scene iv) I feel like this search for #LiteraryBurns could take over my weekend.

Digging back into Cyrano for class, which makes for a delightful hour of listening to people hilariously mispronounce French names.

I had to talk about one of the greatest love story of all time. It's well written, funny and sad ... I won't say too much. Cyrano is one of the most likeable characters I've met (and I've met a lot of them). A #frenchclassic that is worth the reading!

Cyrano is a life-defining character.

My favorite work in the history of French literature so far. Written with a skill few possess and filled with enough historical and literary references for one to rediscover it with every single reading! ❤️

At least I got something here. #heritagepress #bookstagram #sandglasstippedin

Day 23: Classics TBR. Was busy with Pride fun here, so I'm catching up. I have a pretty big Classics TBR but these four are probably the highest on my list. #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading

#maybookflowers Day 13 #eyesoncovers Here's looking at you, kid.

This may have made me ugly cry.

I am too proud to be a parasite.

I'm doing a shorter reading challenge from 2015, and one of the challenges is a classic romance. I'm only through act 1 and I'm enjoying it, I think? I don't know. The beginning was a bit confusing. So much was happening right away.

Shopping today for 2 son's college books. All like-new used from used book store and Amazon. Also ordered physics and calculus used (correct editions, yeah!) Saved about $350 on the 2 textbooks.

Doubling up for #titlewithapropername and (belatedly) #epistolary books. Extra points if you can spot Nicky. 😸 #readjanuary #catsoflitsy

I just watched this movie adaptation, and it was as beautiful as I had hoped it would be. It's tragically romantic and packed full of lines that can be quoted like Shakespeare. -- I do plan to learn a few of them to hopefully use in my lifetime. -- So the script is now on my horrifyingly long reading list, and I think I'll watch this movie again a couple hundred times before Christmas.

#seasonsreadings2016 Fun fact, I'm fluent in French. 🇫🇷 I've got a pretty sizable collection of French classics which are all, sadly, about 300 miles east of my present location. My favorite, though, is a really old, really nice edition of Cyrano de Bergerac that my parents gave me when I was accepted into my high school's French Honor society. #NotInEnglish
