Count of Monte Cristo is my favourite book ever written, and I will duel to the death anyone who disparages it

The Jim Caviezel movie was pretty good too.

I think it's supposed to be the most filmed novel, but of all the versions I've seen, no one's got it quite right.

The French Gerard Depardieu TV mini-series is worth watch too.

Doesn't seem like it- based on this article it doesn't even make the top 10 (Dumas' Three Musketeers is #8): https://archive.is/wip/kq87c

They put Hamlet which is technically a play & Sherlock Holmes which is a character not a novel on there but it mostly seems right to me- Frankenstein was the 1st to come to my head but Dracula being #1 makes sense (although maybe some of those wouldn't be adaptations of the original novels) , wouldn't have thought offhand Les Miserables would be #2 but A Christmas Carol being #3 makes perfect sense.

Pride And Prejudice has 30 adaptations, Jeebus!

Nice.

It's painful to think that Pride and Prejudice has that many versions.

Edit. You piqued my interest with this, and a little Google-fu seems to say that the most adapted novel (As far as film, TV, radio and plays go) is Anne of Green Gables. Weird.

The CBC has $1.5b budget, what else do you expect them to do with it?

I thought they just used that to sue conservative parties, and ignore the Trudeau administration's misdeeds?

If you're hanging up the rebel flag, I should probably greet you with a "How, white man.". Probably more English than 80% of British, but there are drops.

The man did sport moobs. I don't really begrudge that unless it's celebrated.

This is a really good example of how masculine clothes historically get adopted by women rather than the other way 'round. Nothing wrong with that. Clothes with no pockets suck. Except that's probably how men wound up with the boring business suit.

I would LOVE sock pockets. Good place to put stuff you don't want muggers to get at.
