I JUST picked up Atlas Shrugged at a library sale this past weekend. I'm impressed you are looking at more than one mammoth at once- enjoy whatever you are diving into!

So cool that you read the pickwick papers...I feel its one books that readers of Charles Dickens never read but its so unique in his works with the language used and its light hearted comedic story.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
I agree! I've read almost a dozen of Dickens's books at this point, and this one is just so unique.

I have read Atlas Shrugged twice. I agree with you about Ayn Rand's philosophy; I don't think much of it.

I’ve never heard of LibriVox. Thanks so much for referring to it. I just checked it out. So many options! 🤔
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
LibriVox is great! While the audiobooks aren't professional (the readers volunteer their time, usually with not the best recording hardware), it gives us access to so many more audiobooks of the less popular classics.

I read Atlas Shrugged in January 2022. Definitely agree with your feelings about Ayn Rand (I've also read The Fountainhead.) After starting on 1 March I'm 20% through Celestial Harmonies by Péter Esterházy which is the only mammoth I'll be tackling this month.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Yeah, Rand is interesting, but not for me, I think. And good luck with Celestial Harmonies! Though it sounds like you're doing great already in just a few days.

Panic not, you only have to start the mammoth in March. You can finish it when you finish it.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
That's quitter talk! I want to finish as many of the mammoths as I can, lol.

Oh yes I loved Pillars of the Earth. Warning tho for a descriptive s e x scene (I just skip over those) and a descriptive S assault scene which I skipped. It's great except for those two things.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Thank you for the warning! I'm good at skipping over scenes like that too, lol.

I vaguely remember something along those lines. It grossed me out and kind of destroyed my enjoyment of the book.

Since you enjoyed William Shirer's _Rise and Fall of The Third Reich,_ you might enjoy a Russian history by Orlando Figes, _A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924._ According to Amazon it clocks in at 1024 pages (I'm sure that includes references and index). It was a good read.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Oh, it sounds amazing! I'll add A People's Tragedy to my TBR! I've read a few shorter books about the Russian Revolution, but never one that long.

I'd like to read The Pillars of the Earth too but not for quite a while. You must be an extremely fast reader. It seems like the audio books would take more time to get through though.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson 7 месяцев назад
I listen to audiobooks at work, so I might have a 6 to 8 hour shift multiple days a week where I listen to audiobooks. Thus why I'm able to get through books so quickly (I also listen to audiobooks 2x to 3x the speed). When reading physical books I'm pretty average in speed. And I didn't love Pillars of the Earth, but I know some people who love it, so I think it's a taste thing.

Does March of the Mammoths have to be fiction? If not, maybe I can actually do this marathon, as half the books I read is over 800 pages haha. Although, not fiction. And oh! You are going to read Atlas Shrugged--as you expressed in the previous video, you had a feeling her ideas are going to be similar in all her work--you are probably experiencing at the moment that you were very correct in thinking that haha. 😅
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Definitely not. One of the books I picked this month is nonfiction. I think it can be any book over 800 pages, lol. And yeah...done with Atlas Shrugged and I realize it is so similar to the Fountainhead!

Ooof, Atlas Shrugged. My old nemesis returns. Good luck!
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
It might be my nemesis as well. It's rather horrid, but I just couldn't put it down, lol. It's like watching a trainwreck...pun intended.

Yes! I haven't read it yet, but I want to someday!

I think I'm the only person that didn't love Pillars of the Earth lol. I really wanted to, but it just let me down. The violence toward women in it just tainted the whole reading experience for me.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Yeah...I'm currently 67% into it, and while I think it's a well-written book, there is way too much sexual stuff in the book (especially violence against women) for me to like it either. I think it's tainting my experience too, honestly.

I kinda both loved and hated Atlas Shrugged. I wish I still had my copy. For all its frustrations, it may deserve a second reading. I also vaguely remember reading The Pillars of the Earth. But it was a long time ago and I don't recall details.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Ha, you describe my feelings for Atlas Shrugged perfectly. I'm about 60% in now, and I hate it and kind of love it. It's fascinating in a frustrating sort of way, lol.

I have several mammoths i am considering: Pillars of the Earth, Barkskins, Anna Karinina, and Middlemarch are my top 4. Just need to decide on one.

I’m trying out the Faerie Queen on LibroVox which I have tried to read several times but kept giving up. I’m surprised I’m having more luck hearing it than reading it. So cool! 👍🏼

What a properly structured planning! 😂💪 after finishing Three Musketeers (hopefully soon) I am taking break from mammoths 😂😂

I’m participating in March of the Mammoths 🦣 for the first time this year. I haven’t read any of the books 📚 you’ve mentioned in your video. I have chosen to listen to the audio version of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and and narrated by Maggie Gyllenhaal,which I started listening to yesterday.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
Wow, good luck with Anna Karenina! It's a challenging book to read.

The Pillars of the Earth is a brilliant book. I read it on Audible. I also read the second one on Audible too. I love Ken Follett's works.
@AnneEWilliamson
@AnneEWilliamson Год назад
While I struggle with all the sexual stuff in Pillars of the Earth, I'm so impressed with how Follett is able to weave history with fiction, and create such complex characters. I can see why you like him so much!
