Les Miserables [With Ribbon Marker]

Les Miserables: (penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | Victor Hugo

This may be my most controversial post.
I prayed to the book gods with the upmost of respect while making my Travel Les Mis book.
I don‘t want to get behind further, & just can‘t carry the full book on vacation.
This book was waiting in the wild to be used & loved.
With an X-Acto blade I cut the cover, several of the pages, & the appendix in the back. Now Les MIs can return to France, but in the beautiful countryside

Ruthiella At one point in my life I would have been horrified but now-do what you need to do. 😅 Just recycle ♻️ the pages if you can. (edited) 6d

tpixie @Ruthiella Yes! It was a very difficult decision. I felt like the boy who was taking advantage of the tree in The Giving Tree. I did give the book thanks. I‘ll keep the book & pages until I‘m done reading the book, and then I may do some sort of artwork craft in celebration. 💛📒💛 6d

dabbe It will now be the best-loved-well-worn book. Have a lovely vacay, too! 💙🤍♥️ 6d

Cuilin Fabulous, bon voyage 🇫🇷 5d

tpixie @dabbe yes! I remember it as a young child an older friend told me that Books love to be marked in and Dog eared because that means they‘re well loved. And then I got older and started feeling bad about Dog earring and quit. So I thought of her today. 5d

tpixie @Gleefulreader it is the only way that I could think to do it so I could still underline and not get too far behind. I‘m trying not to read it on an e-book. 5d

tpixie @Cuilin merci! 5d

“You can try all you like you won‘t go in, I‘m not the daughter of a dog, I‘m the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what‘s that to me? You‘re men. Well, I‘m a woman. I‘m not afraid of you, not one bit”. Eponine- Les Miserable.

All the discussion of slang in today's chapter reminded me of this article from 2019. It's not necessarily related to the book, but I found it interesting. My brain goes down weird rabbit holes sometimes. 🙃

lil1inblue @cuilin @thebookhippie I'm fascinated by the evolution and blending of languages, so anything that even borders on that will send me down the rabbit hole. 🙃 Slang origins can be particularly intriguing. 🤓 2w

Interesting- in the same day I came upon the same French phrase!
“Entre chien et loup “ - literally between dog and wolf- it means evening.
I‘m reading the Languedoc Trilogy in advance to my trip to SE France ?? (Toulouse, Figeac, & Béduer) since the books are based in that area & Carcassonne.
This phrase is in Book 2- Sepulchre
I‘m lucky to travel, but these travels will make me even further behind on #ReadLesMis

TheBookHippie

tpixie I insist on reading the book itself & cannot imagine lugging this heavy book on the plane. Dare I buy a second book, tear out some pages, and take with me? Then copy over my notes? 😂 I guess I could actually do that with my ebook, just not as easily… 3w

Cuilin 2009 I got to see the fireworks on Bastille day over the castle in Carcassone. It is a beautiful fully walled city. I hope you get to see it!! oh, I like the idea of using a secondhand book!! 3w

dabbe I thought the same when going to Canada. I just couldn't lug the 5+ pound tome on the plane ... and then I got behind and just got caught back up. 😂 3w

tpixie @charl08 ohh that‘s an idea! I could copy it at work for free…. @TheBookHippie I did find one for 9.50 on Amazon. I‘m tempted… 2w

Lcsmcat @tpixie Yes! That was my introduction to her. I then read everything I could find. My old library had a huge foreign language section so even works that hadn‘t yet been translated were available to me. 2w

so-so

3✨ This is a chunkster of a book that goes over a lot. We have a few main characters throughout as one little girl grows up. Did I follow along the whole time? No. I was interested in the people and how they grew, but there was quite a bit of battles that just didn‘t interest me.

tpixie @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie @dabbe so far Book Seven is confusing me. Or I‘m not getting the reason of this tangent yet. I do know Hugo loves to go on tangents… 3w

TheBookHippie @tpixie he loves a good long nothing to do with what we‘re reading tangent …that four chapters later you go OHHHHHH. I do know the second time through I‘m catching a ton more. 3w

dabbe @tpixie Boy you got that right! And if I'm remembering right, Book Seven repeated itself on certain pages (book printing error?), so I kept wandering and getting confused. I finally read some summaries of just that book and MOVED ON. 🧡💜💛 3w

tpixie @TheBookHippie @dabbe. Yes I looked into the significance of Book 7. Apparently it‘s the sewer of humanity and later on we get to go through the physical sewers… 2w

TheBookHippie @tpixie it‘s like a game 😵‍💫🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🫣 @dabbe 2w

tpixie @TheBookHippie 💜💜💜 2w

lil1inblue @tpixie @thebookhippie @dabbe I personally found this book fascinating. It felt like he was explaining the tone of the time, and setting things up for later events. It's like he took a minute to let us know that this is also brewing. I also found it quite relevant to the US right now. 2w

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue SO SO RELEVANT!!! 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie 🩵🎯🩵 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue So relevant! And so hilarious that LES MIS is our #cheetosatan's favorite musical. Does he even know what it's about? 😂 2w

lil1inblue @dabbe What musical did he even watch? 😂 😂 😂 That's almost the definition of cognitive dissonance! 😅 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue 😂🎯😂 2w

tpixie @lil1inblue I did enjoy this book once I understood the purpose of what he was trying to tell us. I do enjoy his tangent sometimes it just takes me a little bit to figure out what his message is! 2w

lil1inblue @tpixie Oddly enough, in today's chapter (Sept 8), he comes back to some themes from this book. 😅 I feel like reading this is a good exercise in patience. 😂 2w

Inaugurated
in 1892, paying homage to
Ocean Man — Victor.

Fun fact: “Ocean man" was a self-applied nickname Victor Hugo used to describe the male literary geniuses he admired, comparing their minds to the vastness of the ocean. The sea and natural world were a significant source of inspiration for his writing and artwork, particularly during his exile in the Channel Islands.

My sister is on vacation in Toulouse, France this week & she sent me some pics from Place Victor Hugo, so I thought I‘d share with my hive and those who #readLesMis — & of course, must write a haiku about it. ? If you zoom in on the street sign, it says Marché Victor Hugo (Victor Hugo Market).

Place Victor Hugo —

of vibrant Toulouse. ??

pick

It was a struggle at times finishing this. The main story and characters were exceptional and kept me going, but the lengthy philosophical tangents Hugo so often took made me at times almost forget what the story was about. 19 pages on “slang“. 15 pages on the “sewers of Paris“. And so many more. Still, the story makes it a worthwhile read. The ending is worth waiting for.

BookNook Hugo would have done well to listen to his own critique from page 1175: “The philosophers talk stuff and nonsense. I should like to stuff their philosophy down their gullets again.“ (edited) 3mo

Pg 409
The “Collège des Quatre-Nations” (College of Four Nations) in Paris was established in 1661 by Cardinal Mazarin in his will. It was created to educate students from four territories that had recently come under French control through the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) and the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659).
#READLESMIS

TheBookHippie

tpixie The four “nations” represented were:
1.Alsace
2.Roussillon
3.Artois
4.Pignerol (Pinerolo) – a town in Piedmont, now in Italy

These regions were incorporated into France during the mid-17th century, and the college was intended to integrate elites from these new provinces into French culture and administration. 4mo

RamsFan1963 Wow!! I was never a fan of James Corden show, but that was friggin AMAZING!! I could listen to that on a repeat loop all day long. 4mo

tpixie @RamsFan1963 yes! I never watched his show, but I do like some of the singing in the cars clips. This one was really great! ( my son was in the movie The Prom - Netflix- with him , he wasn‘t the friendliest. Nicole Kidman was extremely kind and caring. Meryl Streep had to have the room‘s really freezing cold when she was doing dance routine so she wouldn‘t sweat 😅😆😂 (edited) 4mo

Les Miserables: Abridged | Victor Hugo

Today is catch up on buddy reads day.

This quote from yesterday‘s chapter has given me pause, something about it in light of current events resonates.

I‘m behind on my reading (April 13) since I‘ve been traveling on the weekends, so maybe I can get a little reading in at work! I‘m so thankful that Cossette is with Jean Valjean! 🇫🇷💙🤍❤️ 🇫🇷

After making it through the Battle of Waterloo (which tested my patience and nearly had me yelling MERDE on more than one occasion), I am back with Jean Valjean and eager to catch up with the schedule. #readlesmis

tpixie I‘m on April 28 ( it‘s May 18), but enjoying it!! I‘ve had so many family commitments during the week and weekends this last month I‘ve fallen behind. But I have to remember family commitments are good! 😊😝🤩 4mo
