I've been intermittently reading the Count of Monte-Cristo since the beginning of the year. I feared that it will be a tedious read, but it surpassed all of my expectations. It's so captivating that sometimes I can't stop reading.

Yeah it completely draws you in, apparently it originally came out by chapters or something in a french periodical, so the OG readers we're invested in it like a modern soap opera
