so basically i'm a beginner reader, i haven't read many books in my life, but I really wanted to read a long book with a good story. i'm torn between these two books, which seem quite beginner-friendly. i read a bit of The Pillars of the Earth on Amazon and really liked the beginning, so I'm very curious to know the rest of the story
what do you guys think?

The Count is undoubtedly the better novel but The Pillars of Earth is the easier read.
If you liked the beginning that you read of Pillars, I’d say just go for it.
Monte Cristo IS absolutely very readable even for beginners, and it’s a phenomenal book that I think you would also enjoy. But if you liked the way Pillars started, I think there’s a very good chance you’ll enjoy the rest of it as well.
