    btw the heartstopper vol5 you bought is the US edition which has different pages and greenscale artwork instead of greyscale like the original UK edition which is what your vol1 is!:) also ... les mis is hard .. but since you've read so many big classics before I believe in you!! and it's good when you're into it and at the good parts and I was (and still am really lol) obsessed with the musical so it was great fun to read all these extra scenes and context and everything. but he does like to ramble sooo you have to push through the opening which is 50 pages about this bishop who is only relevant for like 20 more pages after that and then like 50 pages on descriptions of the battle of Waterloo and far too many pages talking about the history of the Paris sewers.. like he just really likes to overcontextulise so just be prepared for it😅

    thank you for the info about different editions of classics! every classic i’ve bought and tried i just picked up a copy at my used bookstore but i think they’re the most dense and hard to read editions. I couldn’t get through Jane Eyre and was struggling so bad, and my friend pointed out that i had the super long dense version of it, i had no idea there were different versions. You should make a little “beginners guide to classics” and how to find those editions with notes👀

    I studied the Divine Comedy at school here in Italy, it’s pretty difficult because there are a lot of references to Italian history and famous characters.

    OK LISTEN, I am here to offer some encouragement and advice - Les Mis is one of my favorite books of all time. It single-handedly dragged me out of one of the worst, literally years-long, reading slumps of my life. It *will* take you a while to get into it probably, the beginning is notoriously slow and starts out with describing the life of a character that, while a major catalyst for a LOT of events that follow, basically never shows up again. Once you get past that though, I think you should have a much easier time because the characters are amazing. The characters are what carry the book. Sure there is stuff that happens, but what you really end up caring about is Jean Valjean and Cosette and Marius and the Amis. Also, it is *the* book of morally ambiguous characters (and I know how you feel about your gray characters) - a huge theme is how people who share the same qualities end up being either 'good' or 'bad', even though all of them are doing what they consider is right. The only other thing that I would add a little warning for is Victor Hugo loves going on tangents. Like, you will get five chapters of the actual story and then one of him explaining to you in great detail why the existence of the French sewer system is the main reason the country is struggling economically. Or him imagining himself at the battle of Waterloo. Or telling you everything that happened in 1818... you get the point. I personally found them amusing, but they won't be for everyone, so just don't lose hope when you encounter one of them. Take them at face value, not as something you need to remember for the rest of the book, and be safe in the knowledge that we do always eventually get back on track. Really hope you have a good time reading it!
    Edit: oh also! Would highly recommend watching an adaptation to get visuals for it. I like the 2012 one :)

    • @throneofpages
      @throneofpages  24 дня назад +1

      okay you had me at "the characters are what carry the book" and "morally ambiguous characters" i am a CHARACTER DRIVEN GIRLIE THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!! this has made me even more sure that i'm going to enjoy the heck out of les mis!!! it's also very encouraging to hear that it's one of your favorite books and that it helped you get out of such a horrible slump!!
      not the yapping about the french sewer system though HAHA not gonna lie i'm kind of looking forward to getting there now 😂 i've actually watched the 2012 movie/musical when it first came out and i'm high key considering a rewatch before i start my read just to fully get in the mood for it. would you say that's a good adaptation?
      also, thank you soooo much for your comment, it honestly made me feel a lot better and even more excited to start my les mis journey!!

    "Who doesn't love a little suspense" directly followed by the tower of packages toppling over is comedy gold! 😆
    "So these are all the books that you guys *know* that I bought" checked the time & saw I was halfway through the video 😅treat yourself!
    That edition of The Divine Comedy sounds promising, and it's so pretty, too! If you're interested in more epic poetry (that is not as long as this) I highly recommend Paradise Lost by John Milton. The language flows beautifully and the content is much more accessible than the Divine Comedy imo. Satan makes for such a fascinating character, and there is a passage where the angel Raphael explains to Adam how angels can get intimate with each other, which is an experience to read lol. It's one of my favourite books.
    I hope you're going to love all of these new books! ❤

    little tip from someone that is currently getting their degree in Latin and Greek Lit : i think doing a little bit of research on the time period and political climate Seneca lived and wrote in would really better your experience with the book overall! usually publications like that do a brief introduction, but you can find youtube videos or short articles that give you a more rounded view of the eviroment that shaped his worldview

I was really enjoying it but had to take a break after 60 pages of rambling as only victor hugo can do about things and never picked it back up. Im on page 333 and only a dent made in book lol. I am annotating aswell so takes longer. Hopefully in the new year. Im waiting to read lovelight farms in winter. I plan on reading them seasonally. The devine comedy truly scares me i dont think im clever enough for that one.
    I got the sunshine court my boys are my everything i love the series so much and screamed when i found out from you that she had a fourth book and possibly 5th. X

    As reading challenges go, since you mentioned wanting to do one for Danmei, maybe one or two for a specific genre of books?
    Like horror/thriller only for a bit in October, or maybe somethin crazy like tryin to finish a classic in under a specific amount of time (not ones as long as Les Mis don’t do that do yourself-). Just something I thought about since yah mentioned it in the video😄

    If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind balancing a couple books at a time, I think a fun way to get through les mis and the divine comedy would be to reward yourself with a chapter of the lighter books every time you get, say, 200 pages done on the more intimidating ones! And feels like it could make for a chaotic fun video.

    honestly, i totally agree with you there on finding the best translation for classics books. this happened to me with 'the illiad', which i did not enjoy for this very exact reason. back then, i also bought 'the odyssey' but it's going to take a while for me to pick it up and see how i feel about it (since it's from the same publisher too...). anyways! i'm definitely taking this into consideration when thinking about reading 'the divine comedy' myself! on a side note, 'les miserables' is HUMONGOUS omg. since you are so intimidated by it, i have a tip for you that works for me too: take breaks while reading it. for example, if the book is divided into three parts, read the first one, then spend like one week without reading that book, and then pick it up again. i did this with don quijote, which i started it on august 19th and now i have around 300 pages left. since i'm taking my time reading it (and taking breaks from it), i can properly enjoy the book and avoid myself all the potential stress, burnout and pressure that comes from reading the same long book for many weeks. i didn't do this with 'war and peace' and that's why i ended up dnf'ing it in the end... i hope to pick it up again someday on a much healthier and better mindset!
    all of this to say, thank you for this amazing video!!! i'm super excited for that possible 24h danmei readathon (i will be for sure buying the reccs that you and the wonderful people here gave me ^^) and for also reading the 'all for the game' series!!! i've heard great opinions and reviews about it, so yeah! thank you again for your hard work, you truly inspire me to pick up more books and read more!!! i hope you have a good day

Who has an unnaturally good sense of smell and is obsessed with scent. He becomes obsessed with the smell of young women and then goes out killing them to absorb their scent. It's super messed up which is why I love it so much. HIGHLY recommend!
