My fiancée absolutely loves the Count of Monte Cristo. I have not yet read it.
I like Lovecraft's stories.
It's great, but the translation in public domain is not as good as the one by Robin Buss in recent years. I think some translations even ignore large parts of the book, e.g. the opium-smoking harem part. That's the general issue with translated foreign language books from the 1800s/early 1900s.
