I've always been a fan of swashbuckling adventure stories. Having seen numerous film renditions of the book, I felt it was about time that I went to the source material. I am still early in the book yet but I have been enjoying the writing style, even if some of the cultural points are a dated by a few centuries (then again, I used to play a lot of ttrpgs and go to anachronistic festivals, so, not a big issue).
While I haven't read any of his other works, I suspect that I will, as long as it doesn't become too much of a slog.
