Hmmm. I did not realize when I began listening to Les Miserables that it was not just those eight books of 2 to 14 chapters. Those were, in fact, only the books in Volume 1. I am now listening to Volume 2. And I must say, book 1 of this volume is...not thrilling. At least not to me. But if you would like to hear an extremely in depth, and extremely subjective history of the Battle of Waterloo, this is the book for you.

And apparently the word "lugubrious" was the first thing that comes to Victor Hugo's mind when he picked up his pen. I'm pretty sure he somehow managed to work that one word into each chapter of each "book" of each volume of his famous story. But it is a prestigious sounding word to add to my volcabulary. If anyone were to ask me what I though of Les Miserables, I would tell them, without hesitation, that, "It is indeed a lugubrious tale!"

In other news, I do so miss my Dear Jason. Because of disastrous flooding in our area he had a few days off last week, and so they have worked him for the last 6 days straight, and of course, will have him working tomorrow and quite possibly through the weekend. I guess all those days with him here last week made me spoiled, and now I am feeling so deprived at only one day past a normal work week.

When I am seperated from my Prince Charming, I am afraid I am quite a lugubrious site! :)
