Ever since reading Dumas' unabridged <i>The Count of Monte Cristo</i>, I've been wanting to pick up another of his works. <i>Georges</i> might be it! It fascinates me when authors talk about race relations in the past (and comparing it to modern history).<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by my blog!Jess // Curating Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005951680553469471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-49190270740156844422010-05-07T22:52:05.234+08:002010-05-07T22:52:05.234+08:00It matters not at all for what you wrote, but you ...It matters not at all for what you wrote, but you might find this interesting.
