Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses. In real-time. Join up and read along.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses is an epistolary novel, meaning that it's written as a series of letters. On this community, they'll be appearing on the day they're dated, starting with Cécile Volanges's first letter on the 1st of August. The novel finishes in December with a single letter later in January, so we've got about five months. Posts will be made by the characters in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, who each have their own LJ account, but everyone will be able to comment. The novel will be posted in the original French and discussed in English, though you're welcome to start threads in French as well.

hmm, may have to subscribe to that. There is another one doing the same thing Dracula that I read. It's fun reading them in that order.
