Now done with repaying old debts and gifts of charity, I go forth into the plot of revenge! Quite the formidable opponents our poor Dantes has, I'm looking forward to seeing how he lies these three low, and if he can be happy with Mercedes in the end!
I'm going to Maine on Friday, and I'm not sure what book to bring. Maine always evokes nautical vibes, so that narrows my options. This book is a bit cumbersome...

I've decided I will try to update progress every 100 pages or so. So far I'm very satisfied with my progress, and I believe that I can complete it before September ends.
The betrayal on all sides of Dante is truly terrible! Recently, I have become fixated on the toll prolonged imprisonment would take on me, and I would be stark mad or dead within 3 years. Alas, finally he sets sail to Monte Christo! Adieu Abbe.

So far, I'm really enjoying both the prose and story. It's incredibly easy to follow (despite footnotes being 1000 page following), and I can already feel my blood boil for the injustice committed against Edmond Dantes

Chapter 1=Done! Only a few hundred more to go... After another tediously long Penguin Classics forward, the book began. The writing felt modern, and the premise timeless.
I'm going to try to finish this and still meet by book goal of 15 for the year. Hopefully I can finish it by October, so I can read some horror.
