Never before have I recommended a book before finishing it, but there's a first time for everything. So without further adieu, I recommend to you The Count of Monte Cristo, the classic by Alexandre Dumas. I''m not very far into it yet, but already I can't put it down. Chris & Evan both assured me that it was one of the best books EVER. I think they were right.
It's not a short book, but it's not terribly difficult either. So, if you're looking for a good book to curl up with on the cold winter nights, this would be it.
I really enjoyed; The People of the Book, The Red Tent, The Poisonwood Bible, Animal Dreams, The Speckled People, The Five People you Meet in Heaven, and Roots...
ReplyDeleteTanks for the recommendations :-). I haven't read any of those yet. I did read a different book by the author of the Red Tent which I really enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteI have very fond memories of the Count from high school. Glad you are enjoying it! I'm reading a neat book called "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" the format is people's letters to one another just after WWII. It might be a nice change of pace type of book. Light reading for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteKen, as always, I hold your recommendations in high esteem.
ReplyDeleteHave a superior Christmas!
