I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo right now. I wasn't sure whether I would like it or not, but it is actually really good. I haven't read any classics in awhile, so when I saw this, I decided to buy it. I got it at a used book store, so if I never finished it, it wouldn't matter. But, I really like it! What are you reading? Have you ever read The Count of Monte Cristo?

A book by Nora Roberts.
I don“t like her writing style

Thanks for responding.

If you don't like her style then why are you reading it?


myLot reputation of 73/100. busy_lizzie (1024)   ranked 581 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

Beacuse I became a member of a new book club.
I got 2 books for a cheap price.
And you can seldom choose 2 good books at this time.

Hi Bd200789,
Oh my gosh, the Count of Monte Cristo is my all time favorite. I never miss a chance to see it on tv...there are a few versions but all with the same outcome and ending it is a delicious book...Enjoy!

The punishment the Edmond Dantes received was not deserved but I can think of a few criminals that deserve just what Edmond got!! And it would probably do a world of good instead of how they currently "punish" criminals.

I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm about 100 pages into it. Thanks!

Hi again Bd200789,
now that I have your attention (LOL) have you ever heard of a book called "Fauna"? Can't remember the author's name here at work, have it at home...it is the most beautiful story of poverty to riches!! I actually have the book but it is in really bad need of repair and I have no clue as to where to take it to get it rebound...
Let me know please.
Thanks.
~G~


myLot reputation of 96/100. Bd200789 (1365)   ranked 11 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

I've never heard of it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bunnybon7 (705)   ranked 4,192 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

yes, the count of monti cristo is wonderful and fauna also. btw, you should try reading White Lotus.
i think the authors name is John Hersey. its one of the best i've read and i've read a LOT of books. its almost like what people worry will happen today.

Right now I'm reading This Charming Man by Marian Keyes. I'm almost halfway through. Sometimes I forget that her books are usually long but I don't mind. She's one of my favorite authors and I try to savor every minute I can get because it might be awhile before another comes out.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Bd200789 (1365)   ranked 11 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

I've read a couple of her books, but not that one. I really liked them. Thanks for responding.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Reesers (480)   ranked 1,657 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

This one just came out a couple of weeks ago. I would have been finished with it by now but Jane Green released a book on the same day and I read that one first. So far I'm liking it.

I'm reading a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami called the Elephant Vanishes. It's a bit of a disappointment actually because I've read almost everything written by this guy but for some reason, no matter how good a writer is, they never seem to get the hang of short stories. Think I'll move on to Doris Lessing's Golden Notebook after I've struggled through this one

Right now I am reading two books, I have an upstairs book and a downstairs book. My downstairs book is by Martine Cole and is called "Faces". My upstairs book is the best book though and that is "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philipa Gregory and this book is fantastic and a thouroughly excellent read.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5585)   ranked 50 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

I have read The Other Boleyn Girl twice, gemini_rose! I agree, it's an amazing story. I love PG's writing style.


myLot reputation of 93/100. gemini_rose (7260)   ranked 254 out of 7,223 in reading  2 months ago

Me too! Her writing style is amazing, and this is only the first book of hers I have ever read. I would love to be able to use the english language as she does, it is perfect! I have the other book to read after this one "The Boleyn Inheritance" I am really looking forward to that one too.

I'm reading a book called The Givency Code. It's actually kind of scary, and I learned not to read it before bed!

the count of monte cristo is great. i also like other classics like dr. zhivago (pasternak), and hemingway's works.
now i am reading the power of now by eckhart tolle. it is not a fiction. i think it really spiritually inspiring. have you read it?

Hello Bd200789,

I have not read The Coint of Monte Cristo, the last I read a book was quite sometime but it was Gone With The Wind, That was classic.



Good reading

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite books. What a great story!

Right now, I'm reading The Hunters of Dune.
And, A Love So Pure.
