I've started reading Les Miserables two weeks ago and now I'm on Fantine Book 5 chapter 9. But I'm planning to alternate with Agatha Christie's book. So I think I'll finish in 12 months haha

[Syndi Siahaan]

Finished Fantine today! And the book already tugs at my heart T.T

[Syndi Siahaan]

Aaaaand I'm back reading Les Miserables. Chapter 8 of Cossette now.

[Syndi Siahaan]

Done with Cosette and I'm going to take some time off from the brick :)

I read this book/ Brick years ago, way before I'd ever seen the musical.
It's brilliant. One of the very few books that actually made me cry.
I hope you're all enjoying it.

It's my favourite book. I just finished it for the second time a couple of weeks ago. Mion finished it too. We need to do another book now!

[Syndi Siahaan]

I was just going to suggest The Count of Monte Cristo when I noticed that you started a new thread and suggested it haha
