I know this is Hugo’s story of Man v. Nature but there’s not enough Man in this section. I can only read so much about wind rocks sea formations waves etc. 😂

😂😂 It’s more like science writing. I don’t care how the wind actually does what it does! 😜 To be fair, it’s a small portion of the book so far…I hope!

Always here to provide brilliant commentary: at first I read "The Toilets of the Sea"
🤣🤣 Well I wouldn’t put it past Hugo! 😏
I read Toilers of the Sea last summer and felt the same way! I’m married to a civil engineer and my dad is a civil engineer - so I did share the sewer information with them when I read Les Miserables. They are the correct audience for it, I think!🤔
😂 I love that! Glad I’m not the only one. 😅
