    The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

    Still in the early chapters and enjoying it so far. My first exposure to the story was from the movie with Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce. I liked the movie and when I found out that it was based on a novel I decided to pick it up and read it. Dumas' writing style is very interesting and I wonder if it's characteristic of other novels of the 19th century. He narrates it almost as if you're hearing a storyteller give a dramatic flair to a tall tale.

    I loved the Ghibli film so much I figured why not give it a read!

    Currently I'm reading Agatha Christie's The Big Four. It makes for an interesting read, but has become a little predictable.

    George Eliot's Middlemarch.

    Trawling through 19th century English writers is a long process, yet nonetheless an enjoyable one.

    Working through Lem's Solaris. I've gotten back into classic sci-fi and I love the atmosphere and the tension. Also, there's a giant alien jelly ocean that speaks in math.

    Wow, that sounds cool, Bi on life!

    I'm on chapter 2 of The Maze Runner! *proud of myself* I've decided to reread The Chronicles of Narnia or the Harry Potter series after The Maze Runner series. Getting a bit tired of dystopian novels... I've been reading 'em for a few years now.

    Dreamcatcher, it's a good book! Better than the first two, in my opinion. :slight_smile:

    The Tragedy of King Lear :grin:
    Shakespeare's tragedies are actually excellent, more people should read them even though it takes a little while to get used to the old english

    Insomnia by Stephen King - only about 150 pages in and it's pretty good!
