Thanks for this post! I read The Three Musketeers ages ago while in middle school (pre-teenage). I'm sure I didn't get get much more out of it than sword fights and adventure at the time. I'd always meant to go back and read more Dumas. This post (and the comments about Dracula, another book I read first in middle school and enjoyed even more when I read it again last year for Halloween) has encouraged me to add to the top spot in my "to read" list.
Glad I could inspire someone at least. Lol Books are very good, especially in this day and age where technology is prevalent and very hard to avoid. Reading has been such a peaceful space for me, and the internet is a very chaotic place.
It is a masterpiece. If you like the genre, I'd like to recommend Der Schwedische Reiter (The Swedish Cavalier in english). It is the very definition of adventure, mystique, vengeance, and love. The beauty of it made me very emotional. I should re-read it...!
I'll be checking that one out. Thank you so much
The recent French language movie was absolutely superb as well, one of my favourite movies I've ever seen (as long as you can handle subtitles)
I live in subtitles. English is my second language, so... Lol How did you get to watch that movie? It's only available in France. High seas?
It's still showing in cinemas (watched it last weekend; can concur) but it should soon come out as DVD/Bluray
one of greatest fiction stories ever told, truly. I read it every 10 years or so and it always feels new!
Kind of ajacent but if you havent watched V for Vendetta there is a pretty good scene talking about The Count of Monte Cristo.
I would recommend finishing the book first because i dont know if there are any spoilers.
Bonus points if you watch it on Fifth of November
I've always wanted to watch this movie, but never got around to it for some reason. I'm going to watch it soon
