A masterpiece to live through the ages. The first time I read it I was impressed that I could read something as long in such a short time.

- ComputerGuru 7y agoI remember that feeling well, although I’d some prior experience with surprisingly short/not long enough books (Gone with the Wind is sometimes described as “the shortest long book ever” for similar reasons). Les Misérables is probably my second favorite but that took me so many times longer to make my way through, probably because of Victor Hugo’s unfortunate tendency to go so off track, interjecting with two hundred page history lessons describing his favorite scenes from Waterloo.
- ainiriand 7y agoHahaha I remember having the same feeling when I read Les Miserables! One of my favourites definitely.
