I started the Count of Monte Cristo two nights ago.

I tore through the prison "scene" in one sitting.

Oops.

Which transformation? I favor the Robin Buss.

That should say translation. Stupid autocorrect.

Memoirs of St. John Bosco I had a devotion to this saint when I was younger. I even bought a painting of him when I was in Rome, to hang on my wall. He was the teacher and biographer of St. Dominic Savio. I love reading Saints' stories of other Saints.

Quote from: GMC on December 06, 2022, 04:04:44 PMThe whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I have read parts of the Bible, but never all of it.

Finished.

I read All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot a couple of months ago and then started All Things Bright and Beautiful, his second book. I'm enjoying them but I'll probably take a break after this one as some of the stories are sad.

I love this series. I have them all on kindle and as audio books. There's a TV series also. The actor who plays James Herriot narrates the audio books.

Saint Teresa of Avila by William Thomas Walsh. It's very enjoyable.

Whichever one my wife has on the Kindle.

I think it is Robin Buss.

I'm like 78% of the way done now!

It's been a long slog, especially between school. But, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I first listened to it on librivox.org, in an old translation. Then I got the Robin Buss translation on kindle. I enjoy both, mostly because the Brit reading the audiobook does fantastic accents.

The one thing that I find somewhat annoying, after 700 some pages, is the interchange of titles in French. "Oh, so the Vicomte is a <so and so>". Makes it a bit harder keeping track of the three dozen characters
