I recently read Moby Dick, Dead Souls and The Vicomte of Bragelonne so I add: Dumas, Gogol, Melville.

Dead souls is bretty dang gud. Moby dick blows. Dumas is too lengthy even for me.

Dumas is lenghty but it's an easy and fast reading.
Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers trilogy -especially the third one- are very enjoyable.
I tried The Black Tulip after them but it was quite... Well, let just say that it wasn't as good. I didn't like it.

Moby-Dick is brilliant IMO. I read it when I was 15 or so and it's what really got me into literature

Probably the whole of The Great Four of 19th century Japanese poets.

Basho, Buson, Issa, and Shiki.

Wow. How could you like Gogol then go on to have taste this mediocre? Strange.

Hmmm, would her name start with an K mahaps? Did she have a tendency to be very..."cinematic" with her love of 19th century literature?
