Yay! Yay yay yay! You finished it! Now I know two people who have read this book! (I forced it on Steve shortly after we started dating.) What was your favorite part? I have three, I think:
1. When d'Artagnan goes to find out what happened to his friends after resolving the diamond studs thing, and finds that Porthos is pretending to have a Duchess for a girlfriend, Aramis is pining for M. de Cheveruse and wants to become a priest, and Athos is drunk in the basement. I always crack up at the Aramis part especially, and his absurd thesis about blessing with two fingers or three.
2. When they all have breakfast at the Saint-Gervais bastion and set up the dead bodies to look like guards, freaking the Huguenots out.
3. After they've killed Milady, when d'Artagnan presents the Cardinal's own "It is for the good of the state that the bearer has done this," letter to him, so the Cardinal can't send him to prison.

God, I love this book so much.
