Another modern recommendation would be Dorothy Dunnet's Lymond Chronicles, starting with The Game of Kings.

Yes, I'm well aware that the books are very long. If I read it, I'll just read
The Three Musketeers.
I haven't heard of the author Dorothy Dunnet before. I'll have to check the series out. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have not read the other two on your list.

I think I'll read
Les Misérables. I've read what it's about and it sounds really good. Plus, you've read
The Count of Monte Cristo and have enjoyed it so I think I will as well. Thanks!
