In fiction Sherlock Holmes and the Three Musketeers is some of my favorites.

- severine 7y agoIt was a wicked quote: > In his poem “Each June I Made a Promise Sober,” Ogden Nash voiced the common cry of those who work in bookstores or libraries or live otherwise surrounded: so many books, so little time! Always the guilt-inducing pile of unread books, eyeing us like neglected pets. He lists some of the classics he hasn’t read—my own list includes, I blush to say, Moby Dick, War and Peace, The Brothers Karamazov, The Faerie Queen, etc. etc. etc. etc.—and concludes: “So every summer I truly intend / My intellectual sloth to end / And every summer for years and years / I’ve read Sherlock Holmes and The Three Musketeers.” Sources: https://www.bookbarnniantic.com/single-post/2014/05/24/74-REREADING-SHERLOCK-HOLMES-AND-THE-THREE-MUSKETEERS https://www.bookbarnniantic.com/single-post/2014/05/24/74-RE...
