Desu.

I browse Reddit every once in a while, and I’ve noticed a lot of general hate towards incels. Why is this? What is compelling society, as a whole, to shame men who are unable or unwilling to put up with the necessities required in order to have casual sex? Wouldn’t it be more rational that we celebrate those who practice chastity and monogamy? Has society truly become an inversion of the divine?

It's the best digression of the book. Legit interesting.

The 2012 movie takes so many shortcuts that you don't care anymore about any death.

The writing is beautiful, the information is really cool. Did you know that refering to Napoléon as the Emperor, Napoléon, or Bonaparte would each out your political leaning?

Also, Marius is already hard to like in the book somewhat, the musical made it pure shit. Same with Eponine. Fantine happens too fast to care, etc.

I'd say try it.

Took me 78.50h to read but it was well worth it imo.

is based af. You'll fall in love with Fantine and Eponine. I cried 3 times in the book, didn't care for the musical movie.

Here's my review if you care, put down a few thoughts about it. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3133878963?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1
