Les Miserables / Victor Hugo 1432 p.
Our Adult Summer Reading program choice. I had read it 25 years ago, forgotten it, and enjoyed it again the second time. I was surprised to find that I liked quite a few of Hugo's rather long-winded passages about the progress of human history, the rights of women and men, and social justice. (Up to a point, of course - he does tend to like to hear himself write.)
