LES MISERABLES

While I love a great variety of books, this one moved me the most and had the most long-lasting effect afterwards. I even was co-mod for a reading and discussion comm called reading_lesmiz.

I didn't read the book but I guess it is a good choice. (it is not my theme)

I told you we are very different *smiles*

I've read many books and I think that Jean Valjean is probably the best-written character I have experienced so far, although there are certainly other great ones in literature. The book had me hooked from the beginning, when the escaped convict Valjean decides to spare the Bishop's life and turns his own life around. *sigh*

I could easily have chosen another book from several, but this was the first that came to my mind. I wish you would do this meme so I could see your choices!

My interests in books themes are very limited. I read really a lot but always the same themes - fantasy - SF - historical books and biographies (no modern literature and only some historical books)

I had to fake to many days...

I am horrible, I've only seen a film and the musical *blushes* loved both, though.

LOL - that's okay. We can't all read everything after all. There's lots of great literature I've totally missed. I've seen the movie of Les Miserables (the one with Liam Neeson, right?) and it started well but they really messed up the ending. And the musical is a genuine classic now, it was definitely a wonderful tribute to the book.

Good choice! Read it many years ago and I can understand why you chose this one as your favourite.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

It was a tough choice between this and 'The Count of Monte Cristo' which was another old favourite.

[sophiamoon.livejournal.com]

I still think Les Miserable is of a slightly other order, but it's very much open for interpretation.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Well, I think you are right. 'Les Miserables' is on a much higher level than 'Count of Monte Cristo', but I enjoyed 'Cristo' so much when I read it years ago, for its action and excitement and for the pure joy of escape that it gave me. Those two are really two old favourites of mine. And there are so many more...*sigh* It's hard to choose only one! (Or two.)

I can only admire your courage to even being able to choose.
So many books, so many ages, circumstances, memories...
