My sister and I are rereading Les Miserables. By which I mean, she is reading it for the first time, and I am stealing it every so often to skim through for my favourite bits (and tease her about them, when she has to slog through Hugo's five million chapters-long digressions to get to them). And I just reread the Gorbeau Tenement section.
Javert? Is ridiculously badass. He can make criminals disarm just on nerve and reputation, while his back-up is skittering around behind him. He doesn't even have to fight. (Of course, then he goes up against Mme Thenardier ...) And Valjean? Is a sneaky sonuva. *grins* And poor Marius has no idea what he just stepped in the middle of. Heh.
And I'd forgotten the pistols. Oh, ouch. I'd forgotten that.
When she's done with it, I am totally stealing it back for a proper reread. *nods nods*
