Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge.

However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all.

The best book I've read recently is The Glass Castle.I'm reading Blood Orange right now and it's really good too.It's about a woman whose daughter was kidnapped and originally you think it's retaliation for her lawyer husband defending a guy accused of murdering a different little girl,but there are turning out to be different possibilities.
