OK so I don't usually bring personal stuff to this blog but I am being hunted for sport by my book club for the way I read my books and I just want to check how badly I have misjudged what is "normal" in this situation lol

So far I have been called "unhinged", "profoundly disturbed" and a number of variations thereupon for my habit of just... closing the book. Which I guess isn't what everyone else is doing. Apparently.

Also please, if you have very strong feelings about this, yell to your heart's content - I can direct you to an entire book club of people who will yell right along with you 😅

Can the new Goncharov be the Pre-Code film I just made up in my head? William Powell and Ronald Colman star as a detective and jewel thief except it becomes increasingly unclear which of them is which. Kay Francis is also there and has a big identity reveal at the end. Is she the actual thief? Is she the actual detective? You have to watch to find out! Also, they're all in love with each other.

The General Electric Theater radio adaptation of Random Harvest is insane??? It's post-WWII instead of post-WWI yet they don't actually explain how that caused his amnesia because after Smithy's second bonk on the head (which is what it starts with) he thinks he should be in London instead of fighting, there are some other bizarre plot changes, Charles actually says the title, Paula (played by Benita Hume Colman) is Cynthia Hanson instead of Margaret and it's Melbury instead of Melbridge, there's no child and no Kitty... what was going on here????

I love this terrible movie for reasons beyond my control. Those reasons are Ginger Rogers and Ronald Colman.

I'm so charmed by this Victorian etiquette book's stance on crossdressing (The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866) and distaste for laws that regulate what people wear. If the amount of happiness, immediate or ultimate, is increased by any costume, it is right to wear it!!!

crime and punishment is such a funny book because on one hand porfiry is playing six dimensional chess, psychologically torturing, viciously gaslighting raskolnikov into confessing the crime by making himself inescapable and raskolnikov’s heart is beating out of his chest as he’s like he’s too smart for me, he knows everything, how can I possibly outsmart this madman. but then also porifry will ask questions like “do you think some people are allowed to kill others and that you are one of those people” and raskolnikov will just be like “yeah”
