I think you enjoy reading too much to be on this board.
Jaxon Cooper
Isn't that what people here do though?
Ethan Allen
Very few people here actually read. Most just shitpost. To actually address your topic, how much of the book have you read so far?
Kevin Myers
The scene I was talking about begins with a conversation that starts on page 671, but continues for all of Bread and Salt, to page 676, has to be one of the best scenes I've ever read period, I swear to god Dantes is an anime character hundreds of years before anime existed, he's such a snake but he loses his shit when Mercedes is around, the whole conversation is pure gold
I've made it just past the next chapter, the tension is falling away but I hope there's more chapters like Bread and Salt, I don't think I'll forget that for as long as I live

Shit, that's good man, ignore the shitters on this board. Careful, if you spend too long here, you'll learn to hate reading.
Aaron Nelson
Literally only a redditfag would post this
I've posted here for years, and in things that don't agree with my disposition, I've a bad habit of them going into one ear and out the other, for as much of the "lol reddit" people would claim here for me reading something like Monte Cristo, I equally and far moreso would be laughed out of reddit for reading some other, lighter books that I should avoid naming

You're a breath of fresh air.

If anyone doubts the greatness of Dumas but doesn't want to commit right away to this monster, just read The Three Musketeers.
Jordan Bennett
Very interesting—the book Club Dumas said book collectors value Dumas above all.
Your post, op, and some reading about Monte Cristo, help make sense of it.
Perhaps Dumas is just what this board needs.
Noah Young
Have you watched the bat shit weird anime version of Monte Cristo? I think its called Gatkensuko or something and its gorgeous.
Aiden Johnson
I started it several years ago but never got past the 3rd for 4th episode, not sure why but it just didn't capture me, I think it might have been because Albert was the focus character and he just isn't very interesting, especially compared to a very interesting character like Dantes

>greatness of Dumas
Jesus Christ, user. Next you're going to tell us Hugo is the greatest novelist to ever live. Pro-tip: French romanticists are the capeshit of 19th century.

This isn't some edgy obscurefaggotry remark, friendo. Dumas is excellent entertainment, but to call him great is retardation and unironical unmemetical plebbery. Try Rougon-Macquart if you're hellbent on stale Frenchies.

keep reaching, pleb

This isn't your home subreddit, sweetcheeks. It's time to go back.

Holy... the reddit is truly everywhere.
Wyatt Ward
I'm happy for you user. I had the same when I first read it. Same with The Three Musketeers. Enjoy!
Mason Bell
>tfw read the abridged version
Did I miss out or was the original really just full of fluff so Dumas could make money?
Christopher Hughes
>reading abridged anything
Dumbass.
Logan Jones
I'm torn on this. At some parts it feels like there's just...unnecessary extraneous detail. But other times it's only what's needed for the scene. Its strange but there isn't a pattern that I've found.
Easton Myers
It's Dumas.
Luke Watson
It is a same i haven't had a chance to get into mine; been trying to get through Thomas Carlyle's Works, how is the prose? i bet/hope it is abit smoother than Carlylese.
Lincoln Lee
>the tension is falling away
Yes, predictable but enjoyable if you like light reading. The ending is a bit...
Colton Peterson
get a kindle, I started reading the cunt of Monte Cristo recently but I gotta admit I thought I would enjoy it more...

I don't know happened to me as well.
