Is this book any good?

I just bought it becuase I keep seeing it everywhere. I'm not sure why, so I said--fuckit, I'll read it. What the hell.


But this bitch is longer than Ocean's growing list of org victims.


Can anyone (without giving away the plot) shed some light on this book?



Also, what books would you recommend to me that are just plain great story telling? I would preffer literary greats over up-and-coming unkowns.

The movie was a classic, along the lines of gulliver's travels .. it would make for an interesting comparison

THIS book is great storytelling!

It's wonderful!

It's long, but Dumas' narrative style propels you along...

It's about vengeance...

Thanks 9sey
You're my literary snugglebunny

Any other book suggestions?

Yes! Its a good read.Revenge!!!

I once had the opportunity to buy a complete set of Dumas' works (there must have been twenty nicely bound volumes altogether...not worth a lot but in great shape), but I was selling some other books during a move and it seemed silly to me at the time to trade in two boxes of books for a set of different books.

I regret that decision now more than anything in my life.

I frequently look back on that day and weep bitter tears.

What about a good Ann Rice book?

Imago said:

Red Badge of Courage!

No not really...it bored me

Imago said:

I've never read any Rice except for one of her boring ass soft porn books.

I'm also reading Lord of the Flies, but it's mainly to write a Book Report for Izenstick.

2the9s said:

I was joking.

She wrote two good books: The Vampire Lestat, and Ramses the Damned.
Other than that, it's boring ass soft core porn.

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

(spoken)
Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four

What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

Dumas is worth the tears, man!!!

How's your stylist situation?

Anne Rice's Feast of all Saints is good. And Queen of the Damned before it was made into a movie. Two different stories.

Imago said:

oh, nevermind...

Imago said:

Those are my boyfriend's favorite books ever I read a bit of Ender's Game, but then I got distracted by another book and never quite got back to it...I'm sure I'll read it eventually.

Great book. You can read about it here:
