The Count of Monte Cristo, narration at the start of the book: Edmond is a good sweet young man.

300 pages in: Listen to me. Edmond is better than everyone around him i don't know what to tell you he's just the best that's just how it is.

Me: Nice.

I've been going back and forth between reading it and listening to the audiobook. #my friend Edmond has such a gentle voice! aND A THIRST FOR VENGEANCE #and now for your weekly reminder: Edmond is Black. #thank you for coming to this segment of my TED Talk that I have on a looping recording hidden somewhere in your house (not really)
