I keep looking at this on my kindle, really want to read it, but its sooooo long, I always think oh I will just read this other book first! Have you started it?You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!
Oh well, think positive. I might race through it like I do the J K Rowling's...

I got this shock when it arrived this week (heavily influenced by this thread as always) and I opened the parcel thinking it was several other books I'd ordered but no just The Count. I was going to take it on holiday but it's too big to fit in my carry on bag!You could have warned me The Count of Monte Cristo was nearly 1300 pages!

I just finished Stations by Louise Kennedy. Beautiful and brutal remain my abiding impression. Not quite Trespasses but a remarkable feat of a book and I’m now a devoted fan. A must read for anyone who wants to ache and avoids sentimentality.
I loved this book. Poor Rusty
at boarding school where they call her Virginia Creeper. So many little details I remember and I haven't read it in over 30 years. I want to re-read it now. The house, the painted table. Her horrible dad.
