Reply to comment by urbanek2525 in What are the greatest novels written after the popularisation of TV? All the stuff I love - 1984, Dubliners, Karamazov - seem to have been written before by JuristaDoAlgarve

I suppose my question is - would reading books like that - buying it in instalments in magazines as it comes out - be cheaper than the figure you’ve mentioned for the whole book? Ie less than 200$

Good thought. IDK. I wonder how much the periodical was? You'd get a lot more than one story,

I know that all of Alexandre Dumas's books were published in periodicals. "The Count of Monte Christo" was published in 18 instalments, from August 1844 to January 1846.
