To entertain myself during my road trip this weekend, I borrowed several audio books. One of which was the unabridged version of "Camille" by Alexandre Dumas. I picked out the book mostly because "The Count of Monte Cristo" by the same author is one of my favorite books of all time, so of course I'm curious about his other works. May I just say, WOW! What a great piece of literature! I didn't realize I already knew the story as Camille had inspired "La Traviata" and "Moulin Rouge" -- both of which I am a fan of. I sat in the car for an extra half hour before heading into the house to hear the story's end and cried just as I had when I first saw "La Traviata". What a great way to pass 8 hours this weekend.
