Omg what prompt is this for?! Your longest unread book? Thats massive!

Haha yep, my longest unread book! It's actually not that bad (based on my research, this translation was the one to get) but Hugo does like to give major historical B A C K story to "set the scene". Like full on 40+ page sections and the publisher/translator has added on footnotes basically every other word to help sort out who he's referring to. It gets tough to read then. I like the story itself! (Which is funny because I never really cared for the musical haha)

Oh my. That would drive me batty. My longest unread is Don Quixote. 😫

Oooh! Don Quixote! My memories of the story mostly involve Wishbone (not sure if you're the right age to know what I'm talking about haha) I wonder if I have that on my TBR. Good luck with that one! ❤️
