That THE Alan Moore, of Watchmen fame?

Les Miserables is a great great book, but god can Hugo turn off the reader sometimes with long, rambling accounts of the history of the Battle of Waterloo and the way convents are set up. I have paged through something like twenty chapters and it hasn't impacted, so far as I can see, on the main storyline at all, so why the hell did he do it? Also, **** trying to pronounce all these French names and double **** all the Latin phrases he uses. :mad: Great story though: I'm glad I never saw the musical or the film so this is all totally new to me.

I've been curious about that book, but holy hell is it long. When you're done reading some time next century, tell me if it's any good.

I'm trying to read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson because it's been too long since I've started a new fantasy series, but it's too damn cold in my house and I don't have any long-sleeve shirts to wear in bed where I do all my reading. Also plan on finishing rereading The Name of the Wind, which is just the best ****ing book.

I'll be done in a few days but it's already the greatest book I've ever read hands down

For real? If you post some extended thoughts when you're done, I'll be happy to read them.

I might start a journal for reading

Should I taste your journal instead?

if you can get past the packaging

You should write it in fruit-flavored braille.
