"Doing a slow-read of the unabridged version this year. I read the abridged version in high school so I wanted to try the full 1,500 page book but in a more doable/realistic way which I'm doing by reading a little bit every day. Plus the new show on PBS is fantastic!" — Apr 27, 2026 07:50AM

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
