Bookwormjillk I haven‘t finished the chapter yet but those dinner scenes had me rolling. I love this book. 4w

Ruthiella In my limited experience, this chapter with its snarky humor is more typical of his other novels (The Loved One and A Handful of Dust). 4w

mcctrish If surviving dinners with his father does not encourage savings going forward, nothing will 4w

willaful Dad is a piece of work! Though given that he already provided Charles with an ample allowance, I can't entirely blame him for playing dumb.

So I'm guessing Charles used up the last of his money rushing to Sebastian's bedside? Hmmm.... 4w

dabbe @mcctrish 😂😂😂 4w

dabbe I can't help but compare Charles and Sebastian's relationship to Gene and Finny's in A SEPARATE PEACE, though this one they're in college, and there's definitely more humor. Pretty much similar time periods as well. And how dumb am I? I had no idea Mr. Waugh pronounced his name as EVE-luhn. I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. 4w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t believe a word anyone says in this book. This is not a complaint. 4w

Clare-Dragonfly Why didn‘t Sebastian invite Charles earlier if he wanted him around so badly?! 😂 Also, dunno if Dad is thinking explicitly “hmm, perhaps my son is gay” but I love him commenting that he wouldn‘t turn up at his friend‘s deathbed because the friend‘s wife wouldn‘t like it. 4w

KAO I chuckled aloud when I read Sebastian‘s brief letter to Charles actually dated: “I wonder what day it is”—and I thought to myself that I could easily and honestly date my next letter to a friend this same way instead of checking my calendar to give the impression that I have my life under control with an accurate date!

KAO I‘m enjoying this book too—and am pleasantly surprised by the amount of humor! 4w

ElizaMarie @willaful I agree! I think the dad is purposely playing dumb about the $ because he knows his son squandered it away —- I love the dad‘s attitude! (edited) 4w

ElizaMarie So far the book is pretty funny! These characters! @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t believe anyone either!!!! All the dramatics! 4w

Sparklemn @KAO This was my favorite line of the chapter! 😆 4w

lil1inblue I so agree with @bookwormjillk the dinner scenes were uproariously hilarious. I love Waugh's humor! 4w

lil1inblue @dabbe You're nailing these comparisons! It's been a while, but I definitely feel hints of A Separate Peace. 4w

willaful @KAO yes, that was a hoot... And very Sebastian, I think. 4w

dabbe @lil1inblue IKR? 💜🧡💛 4w

julieclair I think the dad is my favorite character! 3w
