RE: 📚✏ 📙 Template suggestion for the new Steemit Bookclub!

in #bookclub8 years ago (edited)

I'm so sorry, I was on the road, haven't click the replies section! :(
But I read Idiot on my language about a month ago, I never read Dostoevsky in English, because my language is similar to Russian, so it's kind of fun to this :)

The whole second chapter with Mishkin is so witty so I can't choose one quote, but a small scene from the first chapter would be:

The old fellow went straight off to Nastasia Philipovna, touched the floor with his forehead, and began blubbering and beseeching her on his
knees to give him back the diamonds. So after awhile she brought the box and flew out at him. ‘There,’ she says, ‘take your earrings, you wretched old miser; although they are ten times dearer than their value to me now that I know what it must have cost Parfen to get them! Give Parfen my compliments,’ she says, ‘and thank him very much!’.

Such strong scene, you almost feel the shame yourself, and you feel this is just a begging of what's to come.

Hello @marinauzelac! Don't worry: we have not yet officially started. This article was just to propose this template for the article - optional. We need to agree a few more things before to begin :)

Ok! :)
For a minute there I thought I missed out :)
About suggestions, I think if you can't find a particular quote, we could write a favorite scene from the chapter and something about why that scene made an impression, like I did in the comment above :)
Does that make sense?

It makes totally sense! I will update the template with a section like this! Thanks!

Great! Looking forward to this! :)
