About to tackle Les Miserables

Is it worth it? In the last few years, I’ve read “long books” Atlas Shrugged and The Stand. Both were very much worth it. I’m just a 10-15 page a night reader so a long book is a big commitment. Multiple people have told me Les Miserables is worth it. I’m fearing boredom. Any comments?

I've considered it but haven't taken the plunge yet. Like you, I am worried that it could be a slog to get through. I did tackle War and Peace last year and enjoyed it for what it's worth.

It’s on my shelf. I look forward to get your thoughts. I have a few big ones sitting there. It sits next to Moby Dick, War & Peace, and The Three Musketeers.

At least you don't have to listen to Russell Crowe sing.

What translation do you recommend?

I read it as a teenager and loved it. Did not find it boring, and I was less tolerant of boring subjects back then.
