Scott-Charles Stikes Through The Count of Monte Cristo Ch. XXXVI-XLIII

After yet another hiatus, Scott-Charles returns to his journey through Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo (CoMC)! I'm kind of hoping to marathon through this through this week, so let's see what happens.

Scott-Charles Strikes Through The Count of Monte Cristo Ch. XXXI-XXXV

After a week without posting, Scott-Charles continues his journey through Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo (ComC). In this portion, we get a new protagonist, a new environment, and a new perspective on Edmond Dantés.

Scott Charles Strikes Through: The Count of Monte Cristo Ch. I-X

With this my journey through The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas begins. The following encompasses all of the knowledge I possessed about the plot of this book before I began:

• It's rather lengthy
• The Simpsons parody, "The Count of Monte Fatso," was hilarious
• Or at least it was hilarious when I saw it however many years ago
• I cannot find this clip on youtube or hulu
• It's V's favorite film (from V for Vendetta)
• This clip, on the other hand, is readily findable.
• I’m aware of the basic plot regarding the main character being betrayed, imprisoned, escaping, and then obtaining vengeance. 

With this series of posts, I'm trying to figure out how big of a chunk of the post each post should cover. My gut feeling is to do ten chapters per post, which would result in 12 posts. This might change as the blog continues.

I am reading from the Penguin Classics edition of the book, primarily because of the good things I have heard about the translation. 

Also, fair warning, this post will contain spoilers for the first ten chapters.

So... Let's do it!
