<p>The Count of Monte Cristo is a very good book, and I’m usually not one who reads classics for fun. Although mixing Gulliver’s Travels with the Da Vinci Code is pretty much like throwing James Wood and the Gossip Girl into a literary deathmatch.</p>
<p>I’m tired of long novels after freshman year so I’m doing short story collections:</p>
<p>No one belongs here more than you - Miranda July
Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned - Wells Tower
The Dead Fish Mueseum - Charles D’Ambrosio</p>
<p>And rereading Junot Diaz’s Drown. Drown is like finding the solution to cancer while having sex. Please read it.</p>
