"How did I escape? With difficulty.
How did I plan this moment? With pleasure."
Hello everyone!
This week is going to be a bit Alexandre Dumas-coloured, if I do say so myself. I've been meaning to do something of the sort for a LONG time, but unfortunately, other things kept on happening and distracting me, this included but not limited to Rick Riordan and his books popping in and out of my reading list.
Yeah, I should probably dial down on the whole Jack the Sword quotations, right?
Anyway.
A while ago (this being now a long while ago) I decided, for some reason, to sit down and read The Count of Monte Cristo from beginning to end. As luck would have it, this took a bit (that thing is HUGE).
As luck would ALSO have it, in the meantime they aired the movie adaptation on television, though I had to double back and watch it later on as well because ... let's face it, I missed the whole beginning.
With that in mind, let's launch into our Monte Cristo-themed week!
