returning this to the library along with several other books bc i just copped a $280 lost item fine for keeping these books 2 months overdue lmao (don't worry they will waive the fine now that i have returned the books), so this is going on pause for a few weeks

inshallah i will finish this before book club tomorrow

chapters 82 and 83 are actually goated - so interesting to see the contrast between caderousse and Monte Cristo. MC says Cad is too greedy (while MC has a billion dollars), MC says Cad is too focused on revenge against Benedetto (while revenge is literally the count's whole thing). I loveee how evil the count is in these chapters hehehe

Finished the Rome chapters - I know many people say this part of the book is a waste of time, but it's just so fun! It's better the second time because you KNOW who all the random new characters being introduced are. the luigi vampa stuff seems so unnecessary but it comes back so nicely later that i had so much fun reading about it this time !!!

I HAVE COVID, I NEED SOMETHING EASY 2 READ THAT REQUIRES MINIMUM BRAIN FUNCTION, SO I RETURN TO RWRB

i just fin part 1 - incredible, so much better the second time, so much foreshadowing, and now it is time for evil Count to emerge. i love so much how part 1 ends:

"and now... farewell, goodness, humanity, gratitude... Farewell all those feelings that nourish and illuminate the heart! I have taken the place of Providence to reward the good; now let the avenging God make way for me to punish the wrongdoer!"

when i find myself in times of trouble
mother mary comes to me
