As for french litterature, I love Zola's work or Maupassant's but can't take me to read Flaubert or even Stendhal, I find them terribly boring... (the same for Lamartine or Chateaubriand). As for Victor Hugo, I'll love reading "Notre Dame de Paris" or "Les misérables" but, you have to know he wrote it as a serial, selling it in newspapers, so, more long it was, more money he got... And it's really to long for me...
