I'm 70% or so into Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini, and I'm liking it a lot. I actually watched the 1952 movie first and while I enjoyed it, the characters were surprisingly boring (the sword fights and fancy costumes helped keep the boredom to a minimum, though). The book versions are much more interesting-- especially Aline, who's basically a dumb wet blanket in the movie. In the book, she's actually got a personality and some intelligence. :P
