Three Musketeers was the first book I remember reading as a kid all by myself. I think I read it four times between 1st and 2nd grade. The characters may have been French...but they were French when the French were still men.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a classic, long, but a wonderful book. Dumas could really tell a story.

With wigs, wearing silk finery and lace. But real men, nonetheless.
