Status Updates From Joseph Andrews & Shamela

I am so ready to finish this book.

BOO👎

I have grown to despise this novel. Joseph Andrews is a phony, and I wish the worst for him and his ridiculously named friends.

The only thing I have learned from this novel is potential insults to use in the future. Everyone better watch out; I'm going to start throwing "vile trollop" around like Oprah did with those cars.

You're a vile trollop! You're a vile trollop! And you're a vile trollop!

This book is teaching me that I’m not hating as much as I should be.

“I would rather be tried before some judges than be a Prosecutor for him; If I had an Estate in the Neighbourhood, I would sell it for half the Value, rather than live near him.”

“I suppose it was given to you by some vile Trollop!”

“For she would rather stay in that place to all Eternity, than ride with a naked Man.”

Boring yet entertaining. Annoying yet interesting. I hate this novel, yet I like this novel. What a conundrum.

Joseph Andrews seems to be the most sought after man in all the land! Surrounded by many frivolous bachelorettes, Joseph must remain strong is retaining his virtue.

The writing is unbelievable and I admire Henry Fielding’s ability to author possibly the most idiotic and satirical novel I have ever read. I can only assume that it’s only going to get much crazier from here—which is unbelievably ridiculous.

Finished the first five chapters of Joseph Andrews. I can’t take a single thing serious, especially the names. Lady Tittle and Lady Tattle? Sir Thomas Booby? Oh, and don’t let me forget the legendary Mrs Slipslop!
