In honor of #LesMisWeek here on The Bookshelf I thought I'd attempt to create my own tag .... There are 10 questions all related in some way to Les Miserables. In this post I have only put the questions as I would love as many people, book bloggers or not, to answer the questions, take a screen shot and share them with me and everyone else using the hashtag #LesMisWeek and then Monday morning I will post the responses to the tag along with my own answers. I hope that makes sense, but more importantly I hope you enjoy it! :) In short, I TAG YOU ALL!
Note: when I use the phrase 'which character', or something to that affect, I mean from any book you've read. Not necessarily Les Mis.
1) Members of the ABC read a lot and what they read helped to shape their belief that revolution was needed. What book have you read that has made you want to change the world?
2) Jean ValJean has been described as the greatest literary character of all time and the majority of people love him. However, he's a criminal and maybe we shouldn't. what book character also poses a similar moral dilemma?
3) Les Miserables is a big book (1232 pages in my edition) but it didn't read like one. Which book did you expect to be a long read but wasn't despite its size?
