Well, I think you are right. 'Les Miserables' is on a much higher level than 'Count of Monte Cristo', but I enjoyed 'Cristo' so much when I read it years ago, for its action and excitement and for the pure joy of escape that it gave me. Those two are really two old favourites of mine. And there are so many more...*sigh* It's hard to choose only one! (Or two.)
