Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
5.0

So scandalous! So entertaining!

I find classic writings to be more difficult to read, but the epistolary (in letter correspondence) form made it incredibly dramatic and entertaining. The first quarter is a bit of plot set up, and yes, the language is lengthy and florid. But it's also wonderful.

And the plot... jeez, I felt like a dirty 50's housewife reading a smut novel. Amazing.

This version of the Penguin Classics also had helpful footnotes and endnotes, and I do recommend it.
