pickA genuine epic on revenge and humanity. Outstanding story telling that is still as accessible and enjoyably readable today as it always has been. This is a classic for a reason.
1) Jane Eyre and The Count of Monte Christo.
2) Red Queen
3) I'm decent at French and I know a few phrases in Russian and Spanish.
4) Power Rangers, Angry Beavers, Rugrats, Keenan and Kell...I watched a lot of TV as a kid lol

Film and stage versions make this into a #swashbuckler, but it‘s really about using one‘s brains to ensnare people through their own character flaws to enact revenge. #oldcoolbooks @Linsy
I‘ve have not read this yet but this face made think of this #👹 for #emojinov today. I think it‘s the redness.
- I *think* The Count of Monte Cristo (also my favorite book). Goodreads said The Stand but I think my paperback was a shade shorter than Count.
- It really depends. In average I read books that are about 300-400 pages but if I read a whole longer book it's probably awesome because I have no qualms about DNFing.

- ... coffee
- Always loved it

Today is #bookloversday!! So, here's a part of my rearranged shelf to celebrate! 💙
It's very good, but I seem to have been reading this FOREVER .... revenge is a dish best served very, very cold. #rorygilmorereadinglist #frenchliterature #Dumas #classics #doorstops
Finished Anna Karenina last and finally decided my next big challenge book.You know it's going to be a long haul when, after finishing the first issue, it still says you are 0% through the book. #bigbooks17
So technically my Carrie Fisher book is a #bookface but I already posted about that today so I chose this book for #riotgrams! I read a simplified version of this book when I was about 12-13 and I really wanted to check out the whole unabridged version, but it does look daunting!
such a beautiful edition of my favorite book ever
pickSet in early 1800s France, The Count of Monte Christo is a tale of love, adventure, and revenge, with wide array of characters, including some Italian bandits. I enjoyed it, and would recommend, especially if you like classic lit.
Ahh, it's great to delve back into a swashbuckling adventure story!
My dad's copy of his favourite book. He died five years ago and reading his books always makes me feel close to him. I often find 19th century literature too dense for my modern reading tastes, but I know this is a ripping yarn full of adventure and intrigue to keep me reading!
