After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantés, believing himself to be an `Angel of Providence', pursuing his vengeance
to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.For God's sake don't see any of the movies based on the book.They don't do justice to the book.

THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho
"When you want something, all the world conspires in helping you achieve it." this is one of the many inspiring quotes from the book. I often recommend this whenever someone asks me. It is a tale about of following your dreams, a novel that has delighted and touched my soul. Really simple and yet immensely moving, it is a treasure of wisdom and philosophical allegories. You might also want to check out other books written by Coehlo, and let your soul be influenced by it.
LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is a masterpiece of a sensuous prose, something I could consider as a great living Spanish classic. It has quite an epic theme that embodies wisdom and patience of age. You might want to check it out and experience Marquez's magical realism.
SOPHIE'S WORLD by Jostein Gaarder
A novel about the history of Philosophy. A model of classic pedagogical technique packaged in most tasteful modernism. Sophie's World I must say is indeed a thought provoking novel that will certainly open your eyes to a whole new realm of thought.
