i reallllly like this book so far

this book is so insanely good, every single minute i look forward to reading more of it

this is so far the best book i’ve ever read ever

Right now, all I can think is that this book is long. Learned this week that there are nearly 900 pages of digressions. In this segment, we read in detail about a nunnery in the northwest of France. Also the criminal underworld and black market of Paris.

update! now that I have the right edition : )

Second section done — meeting main characters & getting ready for the battle in Waterloo

a semester-long project for my French class! for now this is a placeholder until I can find the correct edition & language. honestly really excited for this — feels like the perfect culmination of my French degree.
