# Hahah
18th century fiction?

# You know
The Count of Monte Cristo, The picture of Dorian Gray (19th century, I always forget to subtract the 1). Basically anything that allows me to wield a rapier with impunity.

Also I recently found out that there is a Count of Monte Cristo anime, I acquired it. Very odd, brilliant looking but I don't see the point of taking a fine piece of fiction and then setting it in the future and messing around with the entire plot and characters.....

# I have been meaning to read Dorian Gray.
I have read nothing bad about it in reviews.

Generally the rule of thumb is that if something is over 60 years old and it is still known, then it is worth reading.

and its fairly well written. But it didn't rock my boat - in the same way that movie about the teleporting magicians didn't.
