I've wanted to read The Red and the Black. How is it like?
Ah, if ye like historical novels, you must pick up a novel by Franz Werfel. He is a wonderful historical novelist, who thoroughly researched his subjects before he dove into them. I would recommend The Forty Days of Musa Dagh...although as a catholic I'd of course recommend his classic, made into a hollywood blockbuster, The Song of Bernadette (much better than the movie by the way, and that's saying something in itself). :)
