One: I have recently finished The Three Musketeers, which, although it is egregiously misogynist, was excellent. I mean, it's like pulp fiction for 18th century France. Oh wait, that's what it was. It was much better than Count of Monte Cristo, not that Count was bad--Three Musketeers was just so energetic. And Athos, Porthos, and Aramis were just about the most brilliant characters a man could come up with, Aramis especially. Milady was also intriguing, but rather over the top, especially in the like nine million chapter CAPTIVITY section. And she might not have deserved her fate. Even though she was basically evil. She was just so smart. I wish the Cardinal would have been featured as extensively as she. That's really not a great review of the book, but I ought to be writing a journalism assignment instead of blogging so a deeper (and better) analysis will have to wait.
Two: Heh.
