Lolita is still on my list of books I must read.
The Count is absolutely one of my favorite books. It will read like it is 200 pages instead of 700...it is very fast paced. You can do this.

Amanda (tnbooklover) Thanks. I'm actually making good progress with the Count. The version I have is 1200+ pages. I'm on page 550 :)

Amanda (tnbooklover) With just a few days to spare I finished #12 The Count of Monte Cristo 5 stars and my favorite book of the challenge! This challenge really pushed me and I'm looking forward to next year. I'm going for all 14 next year!
