I love that book too! It's one of my favourite classics and I keep going back to it. My experience reading it changes everytime I read it.ThrivingDad wrote:The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorites. The beauty of this book is that you take away different lessons when reading it at different ages. When I first read it, it was in middle school, and I thought it was a great adventure. Then I read it again just a few years ago, and the experience was completely different(and better).

- It's the best of Dumas essence. Quick pace, full of adventures and historical intervening, easy to read, colorful, dark & cheerful at the same time. I like it even more than Three Muskateers.
- I still remember my first time reading it. I was no more than 8 years old, my dad had just brought a brand new book and I jumped right to it. The Count of Monte Cristo. I was hooked immediately. Some visitor came into our family's room and my parents talked with him/her, but I had no idea because my eyes were glued to the book. The visitor put out some candy plate and I reached it without breaking eye contact with the book
Finished it in 1 or 2 days.

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts

I still remember wetting its pages and tasting its words.
Sitting here in adulthood, am happy it was my first kiss.

I'm not a big fan of fiction, but for whatever reason I picked up a fat paperback copy of The Count of Monte Cristo at a library book sale. That might have been the best fifty cents I've ever spent.
I was absolutely enthralled. I have not read any other Dumas yet. I wonder how his other works compare to The Count?
For me, this was one of those books I could hardly stand to put down until I had completely inhaled the whole thing.
