@GracieGirl Read Les Mis. It will not disappoint. (Unless you read the wrong version, perhaps. 😉 )
The version I read was a Signet Classic, complete and unabridged version, translated by Lee Fahenstock and Norman MacAfee. Here’s a link, just so you can see which one it is…I’m not sure if we bought it from here or not but am pretty certain it’s…[Read more]

@Daeus I thought so but couldn’t figure out which—the girl’s, his, or the man’s, and why it necessarily would endanger his life.

Stirring…moving…

Wow, that’s a lot of words. 😐

I’d like stirring, or moving, or poignant bittersweetness fine…

@Daeus I like that replacing of the last sentence. I went through and tried to find everything it was talking about based on having read the book now and I don’t catch exactly what the long-hidden truth that will (will, not just might) threaten his life is…but I’m assuming I’m just looking at it the wrong way, so go do. I know you wouldn’t have…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton That last scene sounds like how I’ve read the musical ends…is the play based on the musical, I wonder?
But wow, you sure sound to have had loads of fun. 😀 Sobbing on stage does seem it’d be quite an interesting experience. I might like it if I ever had the chance, provided I could make myself really cry. 😛 Not just fake-sob. It…[Read more]

@Spradlin Thanks a ton!

@Daeus What Kate said about ruined and shattered. 😉

For lingering bittersweetness, that works in itself (though somehow it doesn’t seem strong enough for how strong it actually is, in the book…), but doesn’t that make the rest of the sentence kind of redundant? To say ‘a lingering bittersweetness that won’t be easily forgotten’? You judge if…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton Well it’s not so terrible you didn’t do the musical—regular plays are awesome too—just that I’d thought it was the musical when it wasn’t. 😛 Was it a famous play?
And who were you singing a lullaby to as Cosette…?

Yes. So many emotions.

@Christi-Eaton I know! I specifically meant to call you over here, but when I remembered again I was already in bed. *scowl* Rest assured, it was no betrayal.
😉
And yes, you should write something on Les Mis.
Oh, and it wasn’t the musical? 😮 I was thinking it was the musical this whole time (that’s why I thought you’d all be hoarse after so…[Read more]

@Northerner Ha! Welp, now you know. 😛

@Northerner Whoa you got back quickly. 😛 I guess I’ll just wait until Sarah is available. (Don’t you love how much we depend on you @Spradlin?)

@Rachelle What they said. 😉

@Northerner I e-mailed, but I’ve gotten no return from Sarah or you as of yet…wondering if the transaction has taken place?
@Spradlin I need you!! 🙂

Oh and btw @His-Instrument, welcome back. 🙂 Glad you brought lots of truth to whatever galaxies you were in.

Yes @Kate-Flournoy, isn’t it wonderful. Rant threads are nice. *huge grin* I like ranting.
