I wish I could get people in my family to do that!
Last night I started The Three Musketeers by (of course) Alexandre Dumas. I can't believe I've never read this before. It's hysterical. Perhaps it helps that I read Steven Brust's tribute not-quite-parody, The Phoenix Guards, so all the characters seem familiar. (I've never even seen any movies based on the story. Though I have seen some anime in which some characters were loosely based on the Musketeers.)
The version I have is horrible in terms of formatting- straight Project Gutenberg text. I'll have to get a better version from our collection here at MR. (I think I'm safe in assuming that there is one.)
