The count of monte cristo is a whirlwind and even though it's long it's a the story sucks you innnnnn! You will love it and be so sad when it's over

For Don Quixote make sure that you have good translation as there are over 20 of them.

The Count of Monte Cristo is such a fulfilling book, so many great life lessons to take away and ponder....it has always stayed with me. I think the trick with harder books is to intersperse them with lighter reading. I am reading Moby Dick at the moment,but am using The Chronicles of Narnia as a palette cleanse when I get bogged down...works well for me. Thanks for the great video keep up the good work!!

You have a lovely energy, I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these books 😊

I think my limit was an abridged children's version of 'Black Beauty' by Anna Sewell. I read all or most of that.

I hear the Count of Monte Cristo is a thrill-ride through-and-through. It would be truly WILD if you read both the English and French versions-How cool if you told us how they feel in their differing languages!

girlie. lemme subscribe, I acc love the way you speak so softly and i can just tell u love books.

The Odyssey takes place after the events of The Iliad, so it is kinda a sequel. But I'm sure you can read them on their own. I highly recommend reading some retellings like The Song of Achilles, Circe, Ithica, etc. They're easier to understand and they give you an idea of the general story, while focusing on some more minor characters from the original poems. The Count of Monte Cristo was such a fun read! Especially that edition since it's not abridged. Don Quixote is on my TBR. I read a few chapters and it's so funny! What I remember from it is he wants to be a Knight, but instead of a horse he rides a donkey and instead of a sword he has a stick. 😂 I want to go back and finish it sometime this year.

The Count of Monte Cristo may be long but it is a pretty easy read otherwise, the story is great and I loved every part of it. It is one of my favorite books, I'd definitely encourage you to start it and see where it takes you!

You are such a moooood! love this challenge to get more into hard books and to support each other through it!!

Try Thomas Hardy. Far from the Madding Crowd is good. Sad, but good.

Love the Odyssey!!! I’ve read it 3 times! It’s so beautiful!

You're inspiring me to pick up a long book! I've not read much Russian literature either, but I think my next long book is 'The Brothers Karamazov' which I've started a couple times, but never finished because it's so long. Also, I love the Count of Monte Cristo, too!

I read War and Peace in high school, and I have never been more proud of an accomplishment 😆 I want to read Les Miserables too so I bought a pretty copy to hype myself up about it lol Best of luck to you!

I am right there with you on getting those big books finished and I love that you are gonna try to read them in French as well. 🥰

Our lists are very silimiar! Wish you all the luck!! 🌿

Ditto. 😎📚👍

I have read the first 6 pages of the first chapter of 'Beyond Good and Evil' by Friedrich Nietzsche. I found it hard going.

If you want to read legit hard books, read Malazan or Blood Meridian
