you want a spreadsheet with all the dates of publication of the chapters of the count of monte cristo, which coincidentally has its first publication tomorrow (august 28 1844) to read along for the 180th anniversary?

i have that:

(i have this hooked up via zapier to post to a discord book club channel when the spreadsheet updates)

(also: you probably want a copy of the newer robin buss translation that puts all the gay shit back in, and not one of the public domain ones)

(reader: if

you and i are mutuals or otherwise like, y'know, chill, and
you would like to join a small group of people casually reading the count of monte cristo on a 180 year delay,

maybe ping me)

Can you recommend a good translatiom of Three Musketeers btw? I've been wanting to reread it but I read my high school's copy back in the Olden Times and I haven't been able to figure out which to buy

I don’t have a pick there, unfortunately! Like Le Comte, I think the big thing is to avoid any of the Victorian-era translations that do a lot of removal of all the sex, drugs, and violence.
