Feb. 20th, 2013 10:44 amDear the internet,
Why can I apparently not find Le Fantôme de l'Opéra on the internet in French? I can find the translation for free all over the place, so I assume the original text is in the public domain. I can find all kinds of M. Leroux's other mystery novels - why will you not give me Phantom?
I mean, not that I would be properly able to read it yet or anything. But there's nothing wrong with trying to learn to read by slowly picking away at a text until you can puzzle out what it means and I figure it would be easier with a book that I have kinda memorized bits of in translation.
But no, the internet is determined to frustrate me.
