Currently reading The Count of Montecristo. It's really long, but very entertaining!

I tried reading The Three Musketeers, but I just couldn't get into it. Don't like Dumas's writing style. I wonder if this is any better. The story itself seemed more interesting.

I loved Musketeers; if you couldn't get into it, don't even think of touching The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That book drove me to distraction. Hated it.

I started reading Hunchback a while back, and actully somewhat liked it (despite my general dislike of the period in which the story takes place). I should finish reading it eventually (note: Hunchback was written by Victor Hugo, not Alexandre Dumas).

I knew I had the wrong name. I'm bad with U names.

Listen.

It starts off fine and ends fine but he spends what feels like 80 pages describing the architecture of France as seen from above. It's painful.

Yes, it's sadly how people wrote back then. Seems quite filler, and it was in many cases. Back then, and author would get paid by the page, so the more pages, the more money. Spending so much time on filler content usually paid off (literally).
