Alexandre Dumas

[close] Hello and welcome to The Count of Monte Cristo Read-a-Long Goodreads Group! Throughout November this year I'm going to be dragging unsuspecting victims into reading this beast of a classic with me, because frankly it's been sitting unread on my shelves for far too long. This group is here for us to discuss anything we might discover during our reading, whether it's the representation of early 19th century France or how good looking we imagine the Count to be. There's no judgment here. This is also the place where you can ask any questions about the read-a-long itself, but I assure you it's not designed to be difficult. All you have to do is find yourself a copy, in any format or any language, and start reading come November! My hope is that we'll all have a lot of fun reading a classic which, in my experience, looks pretty intimidating! Those of you on Twitter are also encouraged to update your weekly progress on the Twittosphere with #MonteCristoMonday There's also a Facebook group here!

[close] This group is for books written from 1700-1939*. I created this group because there are so many exciting and classic books written during this time. There is so much to learn about how people lived in the past and in different cultures. Some things are different compared to today but most things are just the same! Please read the rules for more details!
