The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, on the five-month plan, and will start Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre within a few days. (PS: started on 1/30). Getting my French ration in.

I read Regeneration a while back and enjoyed it. I plan to read #2 in the trilogy, The Eye in the Door, this year. Kind of strangely, the second book isn't in the Boxall list while the 1st and 3rd are, though the 3rd was dropped as of the 2012 edition.

Yes! I noticed that as well, it's right there with having the fourth volume of Ferrante's tetralogy and omitting the others. But perhaps even weirder, why skip the second volume alone?
Embers by Sandor Marai (could anyone tell me how you do it so, when you post the title of your book, there is a link to it?)

You also need to do this on the website. The option isn't available on the Goodreads app.

Billy Budd, Sailor aka Billy Budd, Foretopman or just Billy Budd by Herman Melville- in 2006 edition only.
Interesting that it wasn't published until many years after the death of Melville, who apparently didn't consider it finished and ".. left the (hand-written) manuscript in disarray". The manuscript was eventually discovered by a biographer in papers Melville's daughter had.
