@Adry_Grace Yay for Enjolras. 😀 He’s one of my top faves too. And yes, you DO need to find a copy of the book! Look, here’s a link to the kind we have; I don’t know if we bought it here or not, but this is the one we have.…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Your blog! Just what I need, another blog to follow. Grr. I don’t need more things for my time. But I want to! I was looking ’round on it, and you’re too hilarious (which I knew from KP already 😉 I love your humor.). I’ll have to pop in every now and then, so even if you don’t see comments from me I’m probably still keeping an eye on…[Read more]

Well @Adry_Grace and @His-Instrument, I just made a long reply to you a few minutes ago, but I had to edit something and now it’s not showing up though I try and try…I’ll come back later I guess and see if I can make it work.

@Daeus Okay. I’d thought of that, but I wasn’t thinking in a roundabout enough way. 😛
Thanks.
(By the other guy, I meant Blackwood.) -

@GracieGirl *huge thumbs up*
@Dragon-Snapper No one will kill you (at least not I). But is for your own satisfaction you should read them. 😀
I’ve only read two of those though, so don’t feel awful. 😛 -

@Daeus I must be overthinking. Pay me no mind. *shallow sigh*
So was it the man’s identity (not Edwin—the other guy)? -

@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] -

@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] - Load More
