Hi, remember when our book club discussion for this book was December 1st but I didn’t finish the book until January 23rd? And also how I’ve been reading it since November 13th? Because I do. I definitely remember all of that. Ultimately, I’m really glad I did the audio version of this book. I don’t think I could have finished it otherwise. I previously got about 1/3 of the way through this book when I tried reading it in high school, but it defeated me then. The beginning 20% or […]

The book that ate November (The Count of Monte Cristo)

December 26, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars Young sailor Edmond Dantés is well-meaning, kind and really rather naive, wanting nothing more than to make enough money to take care of his elderly father and marry his beloved Mercedes. There are other, less well-meaning people in his life who want what he has and are prepared to frame Dantés for treason to get these things. While celebrating his engagement to Mercedes, Dantés is arrested, charged with aiding in a plot to restore the exiled Napoleon to the throne. The anonymous scheming […]

Book Club Discussion Post: The Count Of Monte Cristo

December 1, 2016 by faintingviolet 65 Comments

It is time for our fourth and final #CannonBookClub of 2016. It is my sincerest hope that you have enjoyed this experience, and I look forward to continuing on in 2017. I’m working on genre ideas now, so if you have hopes and dreams of what you’d like to see the group tackle, let me know. But we are really gathered here today to discuss the epic tome which is Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo. It is the story of one man completely […]

Discussion Topics: The Count of Monte Cristo

November 18, 2016 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

How is everyone doing with The Count of Monte Cristo? Which version have you decided to tackle? Have you forgiven me yet for putting it on the poll in the first place? (I really thought you all would pick Frankenstein or The Age of Innocence.) As of the time of posting, we all have 12 more days to get as much read as possible about Edmond Dantès, his confinement to the grim fortress of If, the great treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo, […]
