I’ve got the book in my little shelf. I have a few I want to read now, so I don’t know when I will get to LM, but I definitly will!
How to read Les Miserables
How I did it: This book takes determination. It is hard to tell anyone how to read it. But it takes a desire to learn, and a desire to be inspired! If you have no desire to learn, or to appreciate the great depth and beauty in this book, I say don't read it. It will be impossible for you to accomplish if you aren't open to it. But for those of you who are willing to allow this book to change you, then just perservere. Victor Hugo is amazing in his plot and stories, but sometimes he can get off on other tangents that do not seem to correlate with the rest of the story. Just be patient with him, and almost all of the confusing parts will be explained later.

Have been thinking for a while that I should read a classic novel, and this is the one I chose.

It was amazing basically.
I was even more upset for Gavroche than I was in the musical/movie. He was even more charming and lovely and I’m never reading the sad page again.

I started it one summer and just got sucked in. I think I read it in just over two weeks. Wonderful.

I finally got around to starting Les Miserables, after it’s sat on my end table unopened for the past two weeks. Sixteen pages down, 1309 to go. At this rate, I should finish it by Christmas, 2011.

The book came in yesterday’s mail. My, it’s a big sucker! Guess I’ll do a little reading this weekend.

Just bought the book on eBay…1326 page hardcover. At $2.25 a real bargain (but isn’t that what eBay’s for?). Should have it within a week.
