In "books that are a red flag," I would put The Count of Monte Cristo on the list. I mean, not Atlas Shrugged levels of red flag, but still. (My father read it aloud to me when I was 8 and he was getting divorced from my mother. In retrospect, hello relationship issues!)
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am delurking in here to share that my mom LOVED Ayn Rand because of the ill-fated romances. Like, she had no idea they were political at all.
I don't even think I know the plot of the Count of Monte Cristo. It makes me think of diner sandwiches.
ETA- I just looked up The Count of Monte Cristo, and I think the tv show revenge is loosely based on it, so maybe that is the reason?

Good grief, I cannot have 4 periods in an ellipsis.
It's 4 if you're leaving out a whole sentence.

Trust my rage
I love the Count of Monte Cristo. Although I'm not sure I would think to list it as a favorite.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've never read Count of Monte Cristo. I've seen the movie, but I don't really remember much of it except that it had sword fights and people climbing things.

Goddammit, Ginger, now you are making me look through ALL my damned style guides. I'm like Pavlov's freaking grammar-sniffing dog.
Ooh, I need to catch up with Revenge; I was going to do that the other night, and was distracted by finishing Sherlock. I only worked for 42 minutes today! It's almost like a weekend!
