Yes, the long-windedness of Dumas. It's why I had a hard time finishing Count of Monte Cristo, though I love his Man in the Iron Mask.
I keep meaning to give The Neverending Story a try since I loved the movie but I keep forgetting to. I really need to compose that list of "Books to read," but keep forgetting to do that as well. Can you tell I'm easily distracted ;)
Artemis Fowl is always on-again, off-again for me. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
CJ Cherryh, I love her writing style but am wary of her books. I'd tried reading Cloud's Rider but it was just so bleak I couldn't continue. There is a book series of hers I want to try but can't find it anywhere.
