Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

B12C6

Ippolit Kirillovich began his speech for the prosecution feeling chill and fever by turns in all his body. He later described it thus. He considered this speech the chef d‘oeuvre of his entire life, his swansong. To be sure, nine months later he died of an acute consumption, and had he had an early premonition of his end, he really would with justification have been able to compare himself to a swan singing its final song.

Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoevsky

B9C8

He dreamed a strange dream...There he was, travelling in the steppes somewhere, in the place where he had served in the army long ago,and he was sitting in a cart, drawn by a pair of horses, which a muzhik was driving into the sleet. Only Mitya was cold…and the snow was falling in large wet flakes and falling to earth, instantly melting. And the muzhik was driving him cheerfully, brandishing his whip in marvellous style…

#MatryoshkaBros

mcctrish He says long ago like he‘s 50 🤦🏻‍♀️ ( all penguins should brandish a whip imo) 2mo

Vicious Circle | C J Box

pick

Finished this in my PJ‘s with my dog and my coffee #perfection

This is my favorite series because of Joe Pickett‘s bumbly honest nature, his penchant for finding himself in danger, and the love he has for his family. The case he works here has been ongoing for the past several books and it was nice to see it come to a close. Maybe. CJ Box has a knack for really setting up the scenes and painting Wyoming and the Tetons beautifully with words.

Addiction to Perfection: The Still Unravished Bride : a Psychological Study | Marion Woodman

The lineage of this test making it to me was, I think, @ElizaMarie from @Chrissyreadit from @TieDyeDude from @The_Book_Ninja

Despite flaws in the test, for a former subscriber to Ms. Magazine, someone who saw Gloria Steinem speak at Duke University, who participated in Take Back the Night rallies, and whose later feminism was strongly influenced by work with birthing and childrearing families, it's a quick look at where feminism is today.

ImperfectCJ The test: https://www.idrlabs.com/feminist-perspectives/test.php 2mo

Chrissyreadit I‘m so curious! it looks like you have a more moderate approach to feminism and i am genuinely wondering what major influences were? I suspect we grew up during same time frame- i also subscribed to Ms and follow Steinem. I‘m enjoying seeing all the results and many of the questions i think would have been answered differently (by me) with a more nuanced approach. 2mo

TieDyeDude The ecofeminism stuff really threw me. I'm sure this barely scratches the surface, but it was an interesting exercise. 2mo

See All 13 Comments

ImperfectCJ @Chrissyreadit My moderate results are likely a combination of a bit of an allergy to making decisive declarative statements (i.e., thumbs up or double thumbs up) about nuanced issues, and the fact that a lot of these nuanced issues are presented as decisive and declarative. My influences are varied and include the tagged, women's studies classes in the late 90s, watching how women are treated by the medical system, and Audre Lord, to name a few. 2mo

ImperfectCJ *Audre Lorde. Especially this book of hers (I'm not big on poetry, but I like essays).

Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

2mo

ImperfectCJ @TieDyeDude Agreed. And also how the questions/statements seem to use patriarchy and capitalism interchangeably (although that might have been a misinterpretation on my part). 2mo

Chrissyreadit @TieDyeDude I agree! i tend to see eco through a financial lens- and can see how it is more nuanced and intersected. @ImperfectCJ Yes- i was surprised by some of the statements tbh. I have a very inclusive view of feminism but some of those statements were clearly exclusive- unless perhaps more nuances were to be presented. Either way it‘s making me think and want to have conversations and i love anything that does that. 2mo

ImperfectCJ @Chrissyreadit Yes! The test results themselves feel uncomfortably segmented. This is a tendency in our culture right now that feels quite uncomfortable for me...as someone who's spent her adult life working to open up definitions of gender and feminism, it's disorienting to see my GenZ children embracing such granular labeling and definitions. I can't say it's bad, just not what I expected. 2mo

ElizaMarie I think some of my answers were more related to me being in health care. Gender identity is a huge part of what we are discussing at the workplace and having family members and friends who are nonbinary, transgender and in same sex relationships made me consider those statements more carefully. That and being a Latina in Vermont. I think if I filled it out while still living in south TX I might not have answered similarly. (edited) 2mo

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie For me it really felt more like differentiating between what are considered societal norms and what i truly believe. Also i consider myself a fairly rabid feminist so was surprised by some of my own initial responses. I also wonder what responses my colleagues in my clinic would have. 2mo

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit I really enjoyed this “exercise”. I feel like I need to either read more or engage more with people and have these discussions more regularly. 2mo

The_Book_Ninja Thank you to everyone who tagged me. I‘ve enjoyed seeing the varied results 2mo

Graciouswarriorprincess I agree…wtf? This book is something else! 3mo

TheBookHippie I‘m pretending I‘m sitting at the bar listening to a drunk tell a very long story….. 3mo

Cuilin I do wonder why a chapter like this is added into a novel, as it never seems to move the plot forward. Is to highlight the suffering as that‘s a big theme of the book? Who knows? It‘s all rather fascinating though, if a little 🍌 👖. 3mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 3mo

Ruthiella So I listened to a pretty erudite book tuber about this book and he said the point of the novel is the age old question in Christian theology of why do humans suffer if there is a benevolent god looking out for us. So the plot is maybe all subservient to this idea and therefore occasionally whackadoodle. Also, FD had a son named Aleksey who died as a child, which was a huge blow. Generally FD‘s life was one of hardship, illness and grief. 3mo

After That Night: A Will Trent Thriller | Karin Slaughter

pick

#SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Karin Slaughter has yet to disappoint me with her books. They are always the perfect combination of mystery, action, and darkness.

I liked that this one took us back into Sara's past and gave more insight into who she was and the tragic event that changed her world.

Another great page turner from the Queen of gritty crime novels. 💚

TheSpineView Fantastic! 8mo
