"...we must know how to make books teach us well."

"I only assumed," [Abdullah] said. "I would not want egg yolks or hollandsise on my shirt in an important meeting."

"Do you, ah, know what would happen if Puny Bradshaw could see you now?"
[Dooley] wiped his hair from his eyes with an atm that was smeared to his elbow. "Yep. I'd be dead meat."

Dooley's a little crude, but he's funny too. I'm really enjoying this book. :)

How about bad grammar and unreadability? For example:
"That was great. Only seen the tree do that a few times." Mike grinned.
"Sure was pretty inside. Did you see all the flowers?"
"Yeah, notice it looked bigger inside than out?"

And while I'm here, I might as well mention the overuse of the period? The author needs to learn some new punctuation. There is practically no expression and emotion! Ugh!!!

The main conflict for the vincy/featherstone/garth/bulstrode side of the story seems to be who will get the inheritance when Peter Featherstone dies.

Dorothea is unhappy with her marriage that she rushed into.

How do the two sides of the story connect? Where exactly does Lydgate fit in? He is the doctor for Mr. Causabon. He is now engaged to Rosamond. Is he the connecting link between the two sides of the plot???

Despite the meddling of aunts and uncles...lydgate and rosamond are now in love and engaged

Super excited for this book!!! Hoping it will be helpful

Soooooo good!!!! I can't wait to finish it. Five more chapters... correcting all my wrong views of forgiveness I didn't know I had.

This book is changing my thinking on forgiveness soooooo much

"After this Buck knew Nicolae Carpathia would be embraced by all of America. And then the world."

Dun, dun, dunnnnn............

Twice Emma has tried to make a match for Harriet. Poor Harriet! Twice the matches have not worked out. The first expressed his love for Emma and then in sorrow at her rejection of him went and married an utterly despicable woman. I'm glad Harriet didnt end up with him! Second, the man had already been secretly engaged to another woman! Oh dear! And now, Harriet tried to play matchmaker for herself....and failed!

Mrs. Elton then said, "Nobody can think less of dress in general than I do - but upon such an occasion as this, when everybody's eyes are so much upon me, and in compliment to the weapons - who I have no doubt are giving this ball chiefly to do me honor - I would not wish to be inferior to others..."

"He [Frank Churchill] will find an addition to the society of Highbury when he comes again; that is, if I may presume to call myself an addition. But perhaps he may never have heard of there being such a creature in the world." - Mrs. Elton

She makes me sick. She is so vain and thinks so highly of herself....I want to slap her.

I was only introduced to Mrs. Elton 15 pages ago, and I'm sick of her already.

...how peculiarly unlucky Mr. Elton was in being in the same room at once with the woman he had just married, the woman he had wanted to marry, and the woman he had been expected to marry...

Oh dear.
