evelyn_bWhat I've Finished Reading
I finally finished Les Miserables! It was too much by a long shot and it was good. Marius should feel bad for the rest of his life. The translation was by Norman Denny, who also translated the biography of Balzac that I loved, and I thought it was pretty good, too. It provides a big boost in readability over some earlier translations, with no corresponding loss of Hugorrendousness.
Next week: maybe a different book?
