It's a huge, heavy book that's available for free as an eBook. Instant travel companion! Thanks Kindle!
But just look at that gorgeous cover! Clothbound, yum yum. And a well-regarded translation besides. Thanks Penguin!
Sorry, wallet.
(Yes, I am actually going to read this. I was much surprised by friends who liked the movie but insisted the book was better. I didn't think anyone would compare the movie to anything but the musical. And I really didn't think anyone outside a French literature class actually read Hugo... but I'll save all that for the post...)
I had to buy this just before Christmas (sorry, 'had' to) because oooooh, it's so delicious looking! I predict crippling neck aches for us both. :(
