The Count of Monte Cristo, it is over 1300+ pages in the English translation I read, and it is fun and interesting read, almost every single page of it.

I love TCMC, its my favorite story, but I enjoy reading the abridged version more. I find that every time I read the unabridged I end up feeling like it was slightly too long.
Your love be real. I can't imagine reading TCMC more than once, and you've read the abridged at least once, and the unabridged at least twice.
Reading it now. I'm reading an abridged e-book. Read somewhere that the Penguin Classics unabridged translation is preferred however.
This one is a fave, thanks for reminding me.
