How Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Changed Me
This book made me realize that I’m not developing my revenge schemes to their full potential. Given enough time and an absurd amount of money that is. Seriously, Edmond Dantès elevated “petty” to an art form.
Fire book, one of my favorite classics. The sheer dedication to ruining people’s lives efficiently was both inspiring and concerning. If you ever feel down, just remember: he waited 14 years in a prison cell just to flex on his enemies later.
