Re-reading Les Misérables for book research right now and yeah, still super relevant.
@rachelthebeck
I need to re-read Les Mis. I'm pretty sure it will hit so much harder as an adult than it did as a teen. I loved it, but some of the themes I think were lost on me—I feel these things a lot more deeply now.
@artemis Yeah, re-reading it in my 30s has definitely hit differently.
Do you have a translation you prefer?
I really want Lin Manuel Miranda to make his own musical of Les Mis.
@danjones000 I know right?
That would be incredible.
