    True, sorry, I just learned that the author was French. I guess it wasn’t part of my curriculum. Maybe it would have been if I followed a more humanities focused path.

    You would think French, being also a romance language, meant that Dumas was more popular in Spanish speaking schools. Or maybe my school just sucked :)

      Maybe that and maybe this is similar to the reason I’ve passed on most of Russian classics, speaking Russian.
