"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas (pere)

Yes, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a very long book. However, since this is an adventure novel and I'm giving you three months notice, I think we can do this. We'll follow Edmond Dantes through his false imprisonment and subsequent revenge on the men who wronged him. I'm excited to read this -- I'm sure we all could stand to involve ourselves in some escapism.
