I just rounded page 700, which means I'm halfway through and pretty proud of myself. Still haven't hit the infamous sewer section, though.
Progress/Thoughts
- Gotta love Hugo: At one chapter's end he's all, "Let me tell you about Marius" - and then immediately begins the next chapter like, "So this Monsieur Gillenormand..."
- Names for the main [1] character, so far: 1) Jean Valjean; 2) Prisoner 24601; 3) Father/Monsieur Madeleine; 4) Monsieur le Maire; 5) Prisoner 9430; 6) Ultimus Fauchelevent; 7) Monsieur Leblanc
- Hugo is a fan of physiognomy
- I care a lot less about this second half of the book, at least so far.
xo,

[1] YMMV on who's the main character, Hugo sure does
