Still Reading Monte Cristo

[maderr]

And probably will be forever, as if I'm lucky I might get an hour a week total to read it.

Must all read Turn of the Screw and get to work on more reviews this week. If I added reviews to my website, would anyone care? I find I like doing them, it makes me feel I'm putting all my reading to more use. Hmm. Iris books are up this week, though I'll do more torquere over the weekend.

In regards to Monte Cristo, if Franz crushes on the Count any harder? He's going to be walking around with a boner. For serious. I was way too young the first time I read this, I missed all the fun stuff.

I about died laughing when Dumas mentioned Lord Ruthven and that Dantes resembles him. Ahahahaha. For all you vampire fans that might not know, Lord Ruthven was the book that made them popular and set the trend of vampires being handsome nobles. It was attributed to Lord Byron, but was written by his doctor Polidori who totally wanted Byron liek woah but lacked a spine who basically hated Byron (who really was kind of a major ass). Embrace fans might note the name, and if you care the 'hero' of that story was a young man named Aubrey.

Wow, rambly this morning.

Mommy, I don't want to go to work *stamps foot*

Yes, you should put reviews up on the Web site! :D I think it would be a great service to offer. Perhaps separate the classics from the smut, though? ;) Unless they're smutty classics, of course.

Oh yeah, what's the site you do review for?

And don't forget the Cross-Dressing Beppo :> (Currently I'm in Paris, just after the Count has arrived).

BTW - have you seent he anime Gankutsuou - ita an anime adaption of the novel, while it seems to be fairly true there are still differences. But's its very pretty and there is slashy sub-text up the wazoo :>

Oh, yes, we're not forgetting Beppo. That cracked me up. I'm at about the same point ^__^ Though a little further, I think, where they go to the country house he's bought.

I've seen...the first three dvds or so. I think it starts getting a little whacky there, but not sure. It's ridiculous with the subtext, seriously.
