Booksirens invited me to join them and they have analyzed my Goodreads profile and this came up. I agree 100% with their analysis but the Les miserables comment caught me by surprise and I found it so funny, brought back to my mind this two memes 😅

Ruthiella Yes! I‘m glad I read it, but it is one of the few books where I feel it really could be abridged and the reader wouldn‘t miss much…the chapter on Waterloo was almost my Waterloo, though I prevailed! 😅 (edited) 1y
nanuska_153 @Ruthiella I feel EXACTLY the same! Waterloo almost killed me... I saw after suffering the whole book that there's an abridged version and I thought "I bet I would have loved that, but now we will never know..." Although when I watched the movie I left saying: "but they left so much out! Victor Hugo (and me) made such an effort to go through a story with so many different dimensions" Here's to never be happy ? 1y

1. Yes! Not an explicit list but I‘m very motivated by wanting me experiences and wanting to do new things. I think about this stuff a lot and have lots of ideas

2. learning to garden or sew and maybe going to a ballet or opera

3. The main thing is that I want to travel alone one day. I‘m very extroverted and am frightened of not having someone to talk to, but I do want to travel alone one time.

4. So Long.

wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! 🖋 5y

If we were around in 1862, we could have purchased one of these 5 volumes-the first English translation of Les Miserables-for only 50 cents!

(These are on EBay with a starting bid of $500)
