“Dantes descended, murmuring the supreme word of human philosophy: ‘Perhaps.’” — Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo. I starting reading TCMC after a comment journalwoman left on one of my posts. I already knew the story, but it’s still nice to sometimes disappear into worlds where treasure hunts and digging holes through stone walls and surviving being thrown over a cliff while tied to a cannonball are possible.
