Last October I had a long recovery from ankle surgery and I read Middlemarch - it was the perfect slow read for my very slow days. I listened and read at the same time so that I wouldn’t get lost in the language. Everyday I would visit my new friends in the quaint village of Middlemarch to see what was up that day.
Thats really the fun thing abt long books, you get to check in with everyone every day xD
Middlemarch doesn't march. It unfolds.
I would say it elegantly schleps...😂
I think you might find All Quiet on the Western Front really interesting!
Classic tomes like Middlemarch have their moments, I get it! Like Les Miserables, you gotta look out for changes in pacing, discursive ramblings, you know the drill. You wanna get inside Montaigne's head, read his entire collection. One of my favourite essays is 'On Cannibals.' He was ahead of his time, very modern
Shakespeare supposedly owned a copy of his essays.
I’m very excited to read Middlemarch for the bookclub as well. I hope you love the other books too!
Hello Carolyn, thank you for inspiring me to read more classic literature!
I'm always watching 👀 Your videos are such a comfort, I adore them! Hamnet is also on my tbr for this year!
❤📚 I have Middlemarch on my March tbr as well. I am participating in Middle Grade March, so I started with a couple of those first. 😊
You're March tbr does look AMAZING.
I’m super intrigued by The Return of the Soldier. Added it to my TBR! And that’s a gorgeous cover.
I loved Hamnet! I also read The Marriage Portrait, which was the author's next book, i believe. I enjoyed that too - interesting plot.
Reading currently The Screwtape letters (if you have not read, please read - just outstanding!), Hamlet and Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters (TBR) :)
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Middlemarch and Hamnet. Hamnet was one of my top books of last year.
you should really read in search of lost time, it is definitely a challenge, but it has a lot of nature descriptions and imagery that tou would really love
I am currently reading whethering heights and 100 years of solitude which I hopefully will finish this month! I also started middle arch on fable and am excited to continue reading it.
Hello, I recently started watching your videos, and your book recommendations are really good. I went book shopping 2 weeks ago and bought most of the books you recommended. The signature of all things is a wonderful book as it covers really good topics such as spirituality and science. Bit of a long read😊.
Hi Carolyn. I just received the t shirts I ordered from you Etsy store and I love them! I can't wait to wear them for my job at the library! Hugs 🥰❤️💚
I haven't heard of these! They all sound so good!
My TBR list for March:
Frankenstein
Anxious People
Great Expectations
Beartown
Nice selection. I read both "Middlemarch" and "Hamnet" last year - both are excellent books. 😎📚👍
Going from the action packed and fast paced Count Of Monte Cristo to the very slow paced Middlemarch is a shock to the system.😁. Middlemarch is a reread for me so I was expecting it. The difference of the two is like night and day, but they have one thing in common. Both are 5 star reads for me.
Greetings Carolyn, I just finished "George: A Magpie Memoir" by Frieda Hughes (daughter of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes) and adored it, and am now reading Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" for book group. Your book selection today looks absolutely lovely!
My March TBR: Sense and Sensibility (i've already read it), The Scarlet Letter, The Silent Woman, The Red and the Black.
Right now I'm reading Wandering Stars - Tommy Orange's new book. Sorry if you've mentioned this before - but if you like stories about the effects of war on people - The Seas by Samantha Hunt is a weirdish book that I had mixed feelings about, but has really stuck with me, and one if its main characters is an Iraq war veteran. I honestly don't think I loved the writing or story telling style, but the themes and the tone were really great.
Middlemarch is FANTASTIC! Maybe, slow, maybe pensive but it all fits into the grand amazing scheme! Enjoy!
I'm currently reading The Lunar chronicles and ur hair, voice and face just fits my imagination for the character Cress 😅
Yea.. that middle March was always on my shelf blinking like when are u gonna read me.. may be next month I guess
Snow falling on cedars is a great murder mystery with the effects of war on returning soldiers mixed in...stunning book, highly recommended.
I’m still 100 pages in with The Count of Monte Cristo (a bit late) but really liking it!
I'm not too keen on picking up Middlemarch, but I hope everyone have a good time with it! I'll join you again on LOTR! 💚
Maggie O'Farrell and me don't jive! 😭 Her prose is beautiful but I find her works boring. I DNFed Hamnet :/ I liked the Marriage Portrait when I read it, but it just faded for me. So sad because i wanted to like her
I'm also a massive mood reader, so never fully gel with a monthly TBR. However, since March is Easter, I've added 'Bunny' by Mona Awad to my stack to read this month XD ;-p
Read Hamnet please ! It's my favourite book from 2023 :)
I have yet to start Middlemarch...
I'm a mood reader too, but I'm trying not to be - mostly because I waist a LOT of time trying to match my mood with a book and months go by where I end up reading nothing. So I'm making my way through the classics and working on my discipline rather than my disposition. It's hard but it's working. Just started Sense and Sensibility!
Also, I know I've said this before, but I love your voice and I need you to make audiobooks.
Hi Carolyn, as you enjoy war novels, an absolutely astounding one is ‘Testament of Youth’ by Vera Brittain it deals with the sociatal shifts that came to England through and in the wake of the First World War. It is written by a someone who lived through that tumultuous time and describes her own experiences and the experiences of her family. Her family were relatively wealthy her brother was at Oxford and she also hoped to go there. Then came the start of the war the foundations of all their lives were utterly shaken and those halcyon prewar days were never to return. It is deep, touching, heart breaking and so much more. Something within me shifted as I read this exceptional book. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It is an experience. Claire B England
I think you would really like "Western Lane". It was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and is now longlisted for the Women's prize.
hello Carolyn! I was wondering if you read The Master and Margarita in the end? Or did you already talk about it somewhere and I just missed it? As for my TBR I´m thinking of rereading this MASTERpiece😄 but for now it´s Lolita´s turn (also a reread for me), How about you? are you planning on reading anything by Nabokov?
i'm struggling w middkemarch. i even tried the audiobook. i put it down for now & picked up Brothers K
Love having the first comment. Hi, love your videos.
I am Also Enjoying Middlemarch- It is Quite Funny At Times😂😊👍👍📚 Return of The Soldier Sounds Very Interesting😊👍👍📚
Hi, I would recommend you read The Winter Garden and The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. They are amazing books but heartbreaking. Would love to hear your thoughts if you do.
I love your voice! If you don’t have one, you should start a podcast! 💕
2:45 You pronounce it beautifully 😊
Hey! I'm curious: do you read multiple books at once? If so, how many? 😊
To start: Wuthering Heights and The E-Myth. We'll see where this takes me.
Unpopular opinion but i really didn't love Hamnet😅 Really wanted to but alas it was not to be.
I read it, but can't remember one thing about it. Must have been riveting. Lol
@@kimbarbeaureads😂😂 It sure must have been! I had a stronger reaction, I ended up finding his wife, the woods witch, rather tedious 😅
I am enjoying Middlemarch. I am around chapter 13 and I rather enjoyed highlighting all the sexist nonsense that the uncle spouts. He's a blustering old windbag. 😁
I love your videos because you give such good classic book recommendations and new insights on what to read! 🤍
I've actually been wanting to read "The Phantom of the Opera".
