Little Nemo 9 Jan 8:52pm, 9 Jan 2025 16,254 posts	0 Little Nemo Engleby has taken a turn to the disturbing!
quimby 10 Jan 7:10am, 10 Jan 2025 6,773 posts	0 quimby I'm enjoying Black Box. 13% of the way through. I like the description of Reddit and Twitch. 😄
Columba 10 Jan 5:57pm, 10 Jan 2025 22,677 posts	0 Columba Still ploughing through The Count of Monte Cristo (I think I can't have read it before, at least, not all of it, I probably read as far as when the protagonist escapes from the dungeon, and then gave up). As I picked up the "black box" from the local indie bookshop this morning, I will put The Count on hold.
LazyDaisy 10 Jan 7:56pm, 10 Jan 2025 41,228 posts	0 LazyDaisy I've never read The Count of Monte Christo but I do remember being quite scared when it was a Sunday teatime serial on BBC, and Alan Badel was in the dungeon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF1Z7irZLdY&ab_channel=EdmondBadel
Little Nemo 10 Jan 10:21pm, 10 Jan 2025 16,263 posts	0 Little Nemo I liked the Gérard Depardieu version from 10-15 years ago. Think I might still have the DVD somewhere...
Winniefree 10 Jan 10:53pm, 10 Jan 2025 9,259 posts	0 Winniefree When I was very young we had an LP of it, with Robert Hardy, set to Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique Symphony. I still love that music and can remember snatches of the dialogue.
McGoohan 14 Jan 10:53pm, 14 Jan 2025 54,965 posts	0 McGoohan I have finished the Black Box of Doom but will ponder a little bit before reviewing
quimby 15 Jan 11:17am, 15 Jan 2025 6,781 posts	0 quimby I'm 66% of the way through Black Box. I'm still enjoying it, but I really have no idea how it's going to end.
TheScribbler 16 Jan 9:28pm, 16 Jan 2025 6,455 posts	0 TheScribbler I should have said this long before now, but I’m sorry that I recommended a Neil Gaiman book to this group. I took my copies off my shelves and am considering what to do with them.
