The Wretched, Tome 1, Books 4-8

Yay, I finished Volume 1! 21% read! (Hooray vacation week!) I have added it to Goodreads, even though my edition is actually the whole thing, because otherwise I will have no sense of accomplishment and I will never make my reading goal

I believe that what Waterloo has to do with anything is (a) establish time shift (b) establish Thenardier as a (more) horrible human being (c) enable Hugo to make more bank getting paid by the word.

Yes, I finally met T. at the end of that whole section; that did have some relevance! I loved (?) how he kept saying things like, "I'm not writing a history of Waterloo" or whatever and then went on explaining the troop movements and all...

seriously, I'm not even going to reread the book, I'm just going to read your commentaries.

Mais tu aussi dois lire le livre! C'est amusant! :)
