I finished "The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo" by Tom Reiss, for which he won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.
An interesting read on the career of the father of Alexandre Dumas pere. Many of the elements of "The Count of Monte Cristo" were probably drawn from his life.
Now 2/3 of the way on my goal to read the 2013 Cundill Prize shortlist.
