I finished reading “The Count of Monte Cristo” last week; for the month prior, I had had a hard time putting it down. At the end of our copy, the publishers provide a short list of discussion questions as a Reading Group Guide, the last of which is as follows:
- The Count of Monte Cristo is unquestionably one of the most entertaining and timeless novels ever written and is also often described as one of the greatest. Do you agree?
Now, I could make some clever remark about an “unquestionable” opinion being phrased as a discussion “question.” But at this moment, I am inclined simply to say: yes, I agree.
