The Club Dumas

by Arturo Perez-Reverte

Grade: Unfinished
Read: To page 94, plus some random skimmings near the end

It was a bit hard to follow. And I didn't quite like any of the characters (although La Ponte was somewhat amusing, though rather gross).
But there were some good aspects too: it mentions The Three Muskateers quite a lot, and even talks about Porthos's death! That was cool. And it seems so scholarly--it mentions books I've never heard of so many times--and it talks about books, books, books...their covers and bindings and everything. Sigh.

Things I have to research:
--What is the chapter "The Anjou Wine" in The Three Muskateers about again? (from pg. 5)
--Who is Rafael Sabatini? (pg. 6)
--What is The Charterhouse of Parma? (pg. 5)
