I
NEVER have and
NEVER shall count the pages of a book,in order to determine whether I want to read it or not.But perhaps YOU should reread my post,before you take umbrage at my LAUGHING at the size of LES MISERABLE!
I WAS 13 YEARS OLD and by that time,I had probably read infinitely more books,of that caliber,than you've read to date;not to mention the fact that I understood them all and that I read through ALL of Hugo that summer,as well as the required reading from my school.Oh yes,and I've even managed to read some of Hugo's works in the original French,pet. ;^)
Perhaps it is you who suffer from ADD,ADHD,and/or a terminal case of juvenile snottiness.
