Book hangover, day four

[mahogany]

I picked up the Count of Monte Cristo from the library a few days ago. Not because I had a burning desire to read it, but because it seemed to me that everyone in the world had read it except for me.

Wow! Has it ever sucked me in. Every day for the last four days, I've woken up bleary eyed because I've stayed awake reading too long.

It's exactly up my alley. Pure entertainment. As to whether it has any literary merit, I have no clue, but dang is it ever compelling.

Oh I own it, and The Three Musketeers. I was just being silly. Nothing like a group of actors trying to buoy a Jack Russel Terrier through a tale of revenge.
