I just finished Monte Cristo and it was life changing. The characters were all so unique yet I loved reading all their stories (and don’t even get me started on the Count).
I need another book that has the same quality of characters, who are complicated and sometimes cruel but easy to care about, but also a book that has an engaging plot.
I’m most interested in reading another classic, especially one within the 200-300 page range (100 to 400 pages is fine, too). I don’t mind about genre, but I really like how some classics utilize magic/a slightly less realistic world (like The Picture of Dorian Gray) to get their point across.

How exactly has your life chnage in significant ways? I’m curious.

It’s a long one. 800-900 pages I think.
But it’s got great characters and a really great story.
*Les Misérables* and *The Three Musketeers* are probably too long but fall into your wheelhouse. I might throw in *Oliver Twist.*
Books that I personally found more interesting were *Frankenstein* and *The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Wuthering Heights* is another possibility, but probably a stretch.
