darchildreI have somehow managed to convince Favorite Coworker to check out Les Miserables. I have no idea how I did this, as I sell that book incredibly badly. I'm never actually able to adequately describe the plot or what's actually really good about the writing - no, all I can talk about is how most of the major characters are enormous ridiculous spacetoasters who don't know how to be human beings*, or how Victor Hugo is kind of a giant weirdo with a lot of feelings about Napoleon and waste management.
I'm pretty sure I previously told her about the dead nun shenanigans. Maybe that's what did it. The dead nun shenanigans are pretty great.
I am now sorely tempted to reread the Brick. I need someone to tell me that that's a bad idea.
*I'm fairly certain that you could replace either Valjean or Javert (or both of them) with robots and the plot would be essentially the same.
...I'm also pretty sure I would read the hell out of that book/fanfic AU. Someone should get on that.
