[close] First of all, why such a group name? It's all about personal preference and literary taste. Literature lovers living in Toronto may meet and form friendships through this group. This group, like everything else, will change form after a while, it would be deleted or perhaps destroyed.

[close] Bienvenue sur le groupe de notre club lecture dédié à la littérature francophone, destiné à toute personne parlant ou apprenant la langue, qui est intéressée par la lecture en français. Que ce soit pour ouvrir vos horizons, replonger dans le français pour ceux qui ne lisent peut-être plus en français depuis l'école, ou pour ceux qui apprennent la langue et qui se sentent prêts à tester la lecture plus sérieusement, vous êtes les bienvenus. Nous lisons 1 livre par mois et alternons entre classique et contemporain. Les membres proposent des livres du 1er au 15 de chaque mois et on vote ensemble à partir du 15 jusqu'à ce qu'un gagnant ressorte! Rejoignez le serveur discord où les discussions autour des livres ont lieu!

[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!
