Yeah because if you are overweight and have facial hair you can't write.

Enjoy the Count of Monte Cristo asshole.

Alexandre Dumas was a fatty.

Are there serious literature classes where you study the Count of Monte Cristo?

I feel bad for you, /lit/.

I come on here, and the first thing I see is that over half the threads on the front page are either troll threads or not literature threads.

So how about a thread about the most entertaining writer of the 19th century?

What is generally regarded as the best translation of The Count of Monte Cristo? A little googling tells me the Buss translation but I also want to hear /lit/'s opinion on the matter.

Writing productivity tips. How did Alexandre Dumas and Balzac become such prolific writers?

Does anyone else here enjoy reading stuff by Alexandre Dumas?

I know that the /lit/erati rate Count of Monte Cristo highly, and it's an awesome, awesome book that has everything, treasure islands, badass main character, lesbians and a whizz-bang tour of 19th Century Europe.

But his other stuff like The Three Musketeers and its sequels are gripping, unputdownable reads as well. I need to read the 'fourth' book in the series, then I've read the whole of the D'Artagnan Romances.

Apparently The Black Tulip is good too, but I don't know if anyone here will have read it. What are your thoughts, /lit/?

more like Alexandre DUMBASS, amirite?
