I think it was 1400 some odd pages. I'd definitely go for the abridged version next time. But, wow. What a fantastic book. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking to kill a few months. :)Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807520899703225632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27058618.post-19575407365983502312010-03-02T17:26:24.178-05:002010-03-02T17:26:24.178-05:00Hah yes that is true.

I'll have to look into it. My one off-the-cuff recommendation (ironically given to me by a blog comment months and months ago) is "March" by Geraldine Brooks.<br /><br />Whit -- I seem to remember you finding time to do all kinds of non-legal things in your school time. TV, trips, sports... etc. You're the master of multi-tasking!NatAttackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165394783070027371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27058618.post-40431411609617863892010-03-02T17:10:29.046-05:002010-03-02T17:10:29.046-05:00I am revealing myself as a lurker here (since we o...I am revealing myself as a lurker here (since we only met once years ago and are facebook friends, but you may not even remember who I am...), but I wanted to tell you I can sympathize!<br /><br />I am currently reading the unabridged version of Les Miserables, and I get similar reactions from people when they hear how I am spending my free time. But here is the thing: #1 - the book is amazing and I mostly don't care what other people think. #2 - I avoid many awkward looks (and the heaviness of the book) by reading it as an e-book on my iPhone. It's great! You always have your book with you without having to carry a heavy thing around (you can read on the bus! during meetings! in the bathroom!), and people don't know that you are reading a 1200-page book on there, so they can't judge you. Plus I downloaded it for free from Project Gutenberg, so it's a win-win-win. <br /><br />I do love going to the library though. It IS charming!Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081264884613144926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27058618.post-16412612269770514742010-03-02T16:50:33.763-05:002010-03-02T16:50:33.763-05:00Are you on Goodreads?

LOVED how it felt to walk out with a whole pile of them. LOVED how it felt to crack one open. LOVED being in the library, and being among the people that READ. <br /><br />Huzzah for good books. :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176312979084143504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27058618.post-52502869229363820392010-03-02T16:32:49.658-05:002010-03-02T16:32:49.658-05:00ok this post is awesome for so many reasons.
firs...ok this post is awesome for so many reasons.<br /><br />first, yes all BU law students are cute (actually there were only a couple cute ones when I was there) ;)<br /><br />second, its the count of monte cristo -- one of the most action packed novels ever written. totally not nerdy (war and peace or anna karenina would be more embarrassing to crack open)<br /><br />third, I can totally see why they would be flabbergasted that it was not an assignment. Reading leisurely or for pleasure in law school is impossible. The reading assignments pile up and are usually never interesting enough to keep you awake, even at 2 pm. <br /><br />fourth, yes the library is awesome and it really doesn't get better than the boston public library's reading roomWhitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991740120109883957noreply@blogger.com
