Slow reading isn’t boring — it’s how you really enter the story.
I saw the film years ago and loved it — so now I’m taking my time with the book. I’m only on Chapter 3, but I’m in no rush.
The opening already hits deep — the main character’s love for his father, the loyalty, the innocence before everything changes. You can feel how much trust he has in the world… right before the world betrays him.
I’m a slow reader, but that’s because I take notes. I write down each character, how I see them now, and how that view changes with every chapter. I look up words I don’t know, places I’ve never heard of, and I try to understand why Dumas built the story this way.
It’s not just reading for entertainment — it’s reading to study humanity.
Maybe that’s weird. Or maybe it’s exactly what reading is supposed to be.
