"Actually, I'm listening to an audio recording of this classic by my favorite reader, George Guidall. Even with his aassistance, it's still a little more slow going than I had expected.

review of The Count of Monte Cristo:
"If you haven't read the unabridged version then you haven't really read the book. And you've never experienced prison & personal hell unless you've read the first 600 pages of this book. " | |
