Of those books I've only read "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and "A Tale of Two Cities" and the latter is by far the better of the two. Admittedly I do find its first 60 pages or so a bit boring and draggy but once Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton show up it's a wonderful book. I haven't read "Les Liasons Dangerueses" yet but I'm planning to - a friend of mine read it and loved it.
