    <content type="html">I've been having thinky thoughts this morning.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As some of you may know, I have this little Les Miserables obsession I've been cultivating for the past few months.  And as part of any healthily growing Les Mis obsession, one begins to wonder about the book which started it all -- Les Miserables, affectionately called "The Brick", by Victor Hugo.  These days, it's easy to pick it up free from B&amp;N for the Nook, or Amazon for the Kindle, or simply off of Project Gutenberg.  The point is, for someone only starting to dabble in the idea of reading that monstrosity, I wanted to dip my toes in first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://eirenical.dreamwidth.org/234370.html#cutid1"&gt;So, I did.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eirenical&amp;ditemid=234370" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
