Mammoth book I have started on.

Victor is my favorite character, and also the character I hate most in Frankenstein.

My sister found a 2nd hand really old translation o this book. The print is ant sized but I'm so taken with this book.

I'm quite intrigued on how this story will end, but I really do hate how directly involved the gods are. They are much more mortals than gods.

So much death and war because men are little babies.

The gods are so directly involved in state affairs.

This is why you kill a whole dynasty when you topple someone over.

Norrell you fool!!

Well.... I did not really think the creature would kill Frankenstein's brother.

"If I look sad it's because this is the happiest I've been for years, and you did that, but you aren't even one tenth mine and you never will be." Kill me now. Dear lord give them an happy ending.

Strange mad. Norell scared. Man with Thistle down hair enraged. Everything going well.

Nothing good about living in Soviet Union in the 1960s

Classics are so funny. One moment you are reading about a monster, and the next oop racist against the Turkish Muslims.

Heartbreaking how the creature learned about love. Victor Frankenstein you monster.

I sometimes forget that the monster isn't called Frankenstein, but then I'm reminded that the monster is Victor Frankenstein.

"He tells himself he is doing it to get himself a fairy-servant and further the cause of English magic. But really he is only doing it to terrify Gilbert Norrell!"
The truth of the matter. Jonathan Strange can only be a magician but his obsessiveness about fairies and the Raven King comes from Norrell's fear and hatred of them.

It is interesting how Norell is so against any other magician but rather quite taken with Strange. Also. Norell is so unlikeable, it's surprising he's got any friends. On the other hand, Strange is affable but on some ways quite like Norell.

I guess all Triempery revelations books for me are a slog in the start.

As someone who has read a million words of Omniscient Readers' Viewpoint this year, I can say Yoo Joonghyuk would have been a fairy here. The art of describing eyebrows is similar.
Also, to live the life of Mrs. Lennox with all the money, no husband and just travelling with my bestie Mrs. Blake.

A couple of chapters in and I can tell Kaul Lan's days are numbered. Lmao he just has to die for the story to move. Now it only remains how he'll be killed.

Wow. This book is now difficult to put down.

Oh wow. After a bit of struggling at the beginning, this book has kicked up a notch.

Aha. Arabella came so close to telling Strange about Lady Pole.

So far it has been challenging keeping track of all the political parties and the the ancestral hierarchies.

If I had wealth, I'd be sort of like Strange. Unable to commit to anything and be on perpetual holiday.

After sloughing through the first 400 pages or so, the book has kicked it up.
