In other news... I can't decide what to read on my vacation. I'll still be reading Les Trois mousquetaires, but I want something as a backup for when I'm not in the mood. It was written as a serial, so I'm not sure how long it's gonna be til it takes off. Even if that's 1/3 in, which most books are, that's still 200 pages in.
I'll be using my kobo, so there are other options on there, but I'm not sure there's anything frothy enough. I might need to bring something bricks-and-mortar too.
In other other news... all that writing about Moving TV got me listening to Aaron Copland, so I bought two albums that should cover a good portion of his beautiful music.
* Cincinatti Pops: Lincoln Portrait and Other Works
* Essential Copland (which has Appalachian Spring, Music for Movies, and other stuff)

Les trois mousquetaires and other novels of the time were paid for by the word, so they can be very long. Hugo's novels are of that type. All I can say is that Hugo is worth being patient and reading in its entirety. In the process, he paints France, a huge achievement. I'm a writer, but I stick to much shorter forms. Please visit my blog and leave a comment. Thanks!
I think you mean Dumas' novels?
I'm reading it in my second language, so I'm slower than I would be in English. But not giving up! :-)
