this is 1st time for me. i really want to reread a 2nd time to see my first (and second and third...) impressions of m. paul and two cousins. 3rd read is to really appreciate the language (almost biblical at times), knowing the various plot twists and turns. #APStogether

I think villette is a novel that needs to be read 3x. #APSTogether

M. Paul is the worst busybody of all-time. The colleague who I would have made an effigy of out of office supplies. #APSTogether

more catch-up. memorable lines from past chapters.
xxv - "gilded glance of Paulina's thimble"
xxvi - "I was no bright lady's shadow"
xxvii - "If you really are the nobody I once thought you, you must be a cool hand."

#charlottebronte 's self-assessments are so much more exploratory than culture-bound. this is her originality, that she is not happy with just plot devices (though I do love a good attic, a good letter, a good fainting scene, etc). #apstogether #villette

“how strange it is that most people seem so slow to feel the truth — not to see, but feel! ”

Charlotte Brontë / Villette

Their (Dr. John & Lucy Snowe) hanging out together reminds me so much of post-college period when there are still friends who are willing to go along with pretty much whatever you want to do/discuss. #APStogether

wow. what a phrase, romantic but also very star wars. "many a sudden ray levelled from the irid under his well-charactered brow." #APSTogether

chopping/prepping, roasting, world cup, making bacon-granny smith apple-celery-baguette stuffing, world cup, carving/eating/talking with family, cowboys football, pie/ice cream, world cup...throw in some french wine and american lager.
+Charlotte Bronte's Villette #apstogether

Dr. John "was not perfect; he must have been very imperfect..." Sometimes, the language seems Dickens-like pay-by-the-word and sometimes the language is pure poetry. #villette #charlottebronte #APSTogether

surprised by the picaresque first 60 pages of #Villette
also, the economics / classicisms, the job-hunting.
reminds me of bresson and more recently, the dardenne brothers
