After class, we (my mini book club -
Kurt Witt,
Rhett Ferrin) deliberated about which book we should choose. We discussed reading a Charles Dickens novel, however we wanted to go with something we had never done before. As I recall, none of us had ever read
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas so we thought that that would give it a try. Besides, the story is set in an appropriate time period (post Neapolitan), we'd all heard great things about the novel, and it would be a worthy challenge for us.
Thanks to my DigiCiv professors, I learned that college students could get a year of Amazon Prime for free! Yay! I placed my order and on Saturday the book came. More blogs to follow...
