“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.

TheBookHippie, Chrissyreadit

TheBookHippie Eponine is my FAVORITE of the whole book. 15h

Cuilin @TheBookHippie I love the name Eponine 🩷 Her and Gavroche are my favorites so far. 15h

Plugging along!

The title of the book appears.
“les misérables - the wretched“
That always jumps out at me when I read!

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. 🙃

TheBookHippie I‘m a rabbit hole queen! We were just talking about the French language at school with the teachers. 1w

Cuilin Interesting. (It reminded me of Cockney rhyming slang.) I love disappearing down a rabbit hole and starting a new fixation. 🤦‍♀️ 1w

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. 🤓 1w

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

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… 1w

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!! 1w

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. 😂 1w

TheBookHippie Oh I‘d get a used copy and take it apart then put it back 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏼👀🫣 1w

Lcsmcat There‘s a novel by that name, by Irene Némirovsky , but I don‘t know if it‘s been translated into English. It‘s not in the Litsy data base. 1w

charl08 I've scanned pages from a travel guide before when I was only going to one area (and the book was a brick). Not sure if reading a photocopy would be worse than an e book though? 1w

tpixie @Cuilin oh! What a unique experience! I bet that was magical 💙🤍❤️ 1w

tpixie @dabbe yes! I‘m so behind!! 1w

tpixie @Lcsmcat Oh! I‘ve read her Suite Française. Her personal story is fascinating.

Suite Francaise

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… 1w

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. 1w

tpixie @Lcsmcat amazing! You really are fluent!! What a great library! 1w

“Monsieur complains?”
“About you!” said the pedestrian.
“The bureau is closed,” said Gavroche. “I‘m receiving no more complaints.”

I think I‘m a chapter behind, but this chapter 1 of book 6 is fabulous !!! ❤️Gavroche

I‘m still terribly behind, but at least I‘m in July and not June.
Love this quote about Monsieur Mabeuf.
“Like everyone else, he had his own - ist ending. … He was neither a royalist, a Bonapartist…..
- he was a book-specialist!

tpixie @TheBookHippie Yes!!! 💙🤍❤️. lol I‘m still in mid June, but hoping I get some reading in today & tomorrow while my youngest daughter & her 5 kids are at school/daycare. I‘m visiting helping them because her husband has had knee surgery (#3 @32yo!!) . Today‘s first day of school. Now I wish I took off next week too because I don‘t see how they‘re going to do it. He still is doing too much. ❤️‍🩹 1mo

TheBookHippie @tpixie oh that is rough. My sister in love is having #2 she‘s only 47 ! Its recovery is awful. 1mo

dabbe 💙🤍♥️ 1mo

tpixie @TheBookHippie yes! I suspect especially in young people because they still have so many child and Work obligations. As opposed to a retiree with a total knee…. Retirees are busy, but usually don‘t have a gazillion people living with them needing them. (edited) 1mo
