Classics
Hello!
I have a rather odd question: Does anyone else find reading classics easier to read than reading contemporary fiction, young-adult, or anything modern? I can relate to the characters better in a classics, the stories seem more realistic, and every time I try to read something new, I end up throwing the book away, especially young-adult books. The situations just don't seem real.
It'd be nice to know if anyone else is like this! :)

I've only read The Three Musketeers. I didn't know there were five books. What are the other titles?

2. Twenty Years After
3. The Vicomte de Bragelonne
4. Louise de la Valliere
5. The Man in the Iron Mask
3, 4, & 5 were originally (after serialization) one massive volume titled (among other things) Ten Years Later. But most publishers break it up into at least three separate volumes.
Twenty Years After is my favorite of the five.
