The fault there lies in the shitty English translations of Dumas. It wasn't until Peaver that we even had a translation in modern vernacular.

What is this Steven Brust and how quickly should I be downloading it onto my Kindle?

The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years After; he's a fantasy writer with a world called Dragaera, and those two are Musketeer novel send-ups set in that world, down to a satirical version of the pompous narrator's voice. I haven't read either in forever so I can't wholly vouch for how they stand up in 2012, but I really enjoyed them circa 2005 or so.

Oh it's that! I've at least heard of it. Plus, the titles are kind of hilarious in themselves. Have you read "The Club Dumas" by Arturo Perez Reverte? That shit is money (she said eloquently).

I haven't! Is it one of those historical-mystery-paper-chase things?
