4⭐️ Some things just don‘t change. The 19th century Warsaw was all about money, women, greed, and racism. It was bad then, it is worse now. I enjoyed Prus‘ humour - I didn‘t know he could be cheeky and funny 😆

Enjoying this chunky novel 😃 Are you tackling any chunkster now?

Amiable I‘m currently reading this book: 2mo
Dilara The book I am reading right now is under 300 pages, as were most of the books I read recently. I like to keep chunksters for holidays, when possible! I am wishlisting The Doll: it sounds interesting. 2mo
Ruthiella Just finished Wives and Daughters which is over 600 pages and am currently working on a collection of all three Kristen Lavransdatter novels 2mo

LeeRHarry I‘ve just started the tagged for my bookgroup catch up at the end of the month. Not sure I‘m going to like it… 2mo
sisilia @Amiable That book has been in my possession for years 😭 I hope to read it soon 2mo
sisilia @Dilara It is surprisingly funny. Lots of giggles while reading it 🤣 2mo
sisilia @Ruthiella Wow 💪🏻💪🏻 How did you find the Gaskell‘s novel? 2mo
sisilia @LeeRHarry That looks quite chunky… and the cover looks serious 2mo
Ruthiella @sisilia It was fantastic. Completely restored my faith in Gaskell. She‘s been hit or miss for me. (edited) 2mo
sisilia @Ruthiella Oh good! I‘ll suggest this for my bookgroup 2mo

Even though it's not my favorite book by Tokarczuk, it is still a very takarzuk-y book. It has all her elements: complicated characters, nature, history, magic, intertwined stories. Those stories show us that we all belong together somehow, that we all are connected. Even if it's only a tiny string. It's a slow book, like a fresh rainy afternoon in the summer. Actually, you can hear the rain hitting the leaves.

I'm going with 2 classics and one newer selection today:

1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (my husband loves it, and we read it every Christmas)
2. “The Tell-Tale Heart“ by Edgar Allan Poe (it's just so good!)
3. Flights by Olga Tokarczuk (It's too hard to pick a single story from this one)
