The Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo - 
I met him in a fine French bistro.
I wondered - could I believe the tale
of this man who once set sail.

A good, short poem on a good, long novel.

Haha, yep, I cooked it down quite a bit, might have left a few things out - lol. I never really knew the story. Had always heard of the title of course. I just watched the 1934 movie with Robert Donat. I think he's a good actor, and the story is great. Maybe, I'll try to read it one day. Now, I'm committed to a book club. I'd like to see some of the other modern remakes of the movie, some of which I hear are quite good
