What's new in my reading?
This book has eaten all other books...
We're already having a heck of a time discussing on Twitter (#countRAL). Especially when it comes to the evil Danglars. I know, I giggle like a 12-year-old whenever I type it, too. Luckily the narrator on the audio version I'm listening to pronounces it "dang-lars." I laugh a little less.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself, "I love this book but it's SO long." Or maybe, "I just read it a couple of years ago, and I'm not sure I'm ready to revisit it." I respect all of those excuses. So why not read an EROTICIZED VERSION???!!! Gives a whole new meaning to Danglars.
I actually read this for review several years ago. Pretty naughty, but fun, and I hadn't even read Count then! Possibly a good thing.
So what are you reading? Anything I need to hoard until I'm done with Count?
It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by the super-awesome Sheila of BookJourney.
I'm reading Man in the Blue Moon by Michael Morris and Sad Desk Salad buy Jessica Grose. I'm not far enough in either one of them to know if you should hoard them.
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh! I keep seeing good things about Sad Desk Salad! Looking forward to your thoughts on that one, especially.
DeleteLove being naughty every once in a while! :) Makes the week go faster ;)
ReplyDeleteWhatcha readin' this week @ the Brunette Librarian :)
Doesn't it?? Couldn't have said it better myself. :D
DeleteYessssss! Count of Monte Cristo forever! I hope you will love every moment of it!
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks, Jenny. So far, so good!
DeleteOh my gosh - how many hours it Count on audio? I don't even think my little nano is big enough to hold the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, like 47??? #gonnaeatmylife
DeleteCount of Monte Cristo is one of those classics I always forget how good it is until I make myself get into it (Jane Eyre is another). Maybe I need to pick up a copy!
ReplyDeleteJust started Carlos Ruiz-Zafron's "The Prisoner of Heaven" and am very excited about it..I love the whole concept of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. *happy sigh*
And I need to make myself get into Jane Eyre again!
DeleteI love that concept too, which is why I think I should give him a break and try more of his stuff.
i read comc last year. once i finish the three musketeers trilogy (i'm on the last "book", which is actually a 3-4 books depending on publisher), i am going to read justin cronin's sequel to the passage.
ReplyDeleteThe Twelve is high on my list as well. I used to have a fear of chunky books but not so much anymore!
DeleteI just finished a big, fat book (Our Mutual Friend). Now I'm reading Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper and sneaking in some Walking Dead vol.1. Just the other day I was standing in the bookstore, trying to decide whether to buy The Count of Monte Cristo, and I was really tempted.
ReplyDeleteBuy! Buy!!! lol
DeleteOur Mutual Friend is a big 'un. I have David Copperfield languishing on my shelves and will likely pick it up before the end of the year or early next. I used to be scared but now I'm a fan of the big chunky books!
I loved The Count of Monte Cristo. I can't wait to hear what you think of it when all is said and done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen! I should be done by 2013!
DeleteI loved The Count of Monte Christo when I was a kid, wish I could count with you! I can see how all other reading needs to be put aside though, that is one long book!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could Count with us, too! It is definitely a book that takes attention and devotion. Good stuff!
DeleteAw man, I commented but blogger ate it. :( Boo!
ReplyDeleteI babbled a bit about how I'll be reading Count sooner or later because it's on my Classics Club list
Awww, I wish you were reading with us!
