You joke but petty theft used to be punished with execution in early modern England. All part and parcel of the enclosure and proletarianisation efforts to enshrine the reign of capital :)
You know I'm also quoting from book that's a social commentary on the conditions of the proletariat in France and also a hit Broadway movie musical with Wolverine "Les Miserable"
Are you against listening to Russell Crowe loudly crow his lines? Do you not know what fine art is? Can you not see, or hear in this case, the beauty within the awful?
Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting! A cool $4 million for a book that could have just been banned entirely, transported by hand... literature was definitely cooler back then.

Is it actually worth reading? I've heard Hugo is good but it just seems so long and I'd rather just read Zola again.
I'd say if you got the time and want to read a genuine masterpiece, go for it. If not watch the musical.
The chances of me reading the book are a hell of a lot higher than watching a musical so maybe I'll check it out!
Lmao reading beats out watching Wolverine sing like a king
Are you... recommending people listen to Russell Crowe sing? If so, dawg what the actual fuck is wrong with you???

PCUSA is CANCELLED
Ah OK, thought you were talking about the Crowe one, cause it's the one in the picture.
Gen sec's gonna have words with me again
My Gen Sec has words for you right here.
:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2: gotcha
There are like 20 million versions of Les mis done every year alone. It wouldn't be hard to fine one without the Crowe :bird-mad:
Excuse me but I refuse to have that level of musical theater knowledge.
:grillman: Broadway? What's that? I just wanna grill.
:jokerfication: watch theory libs
:bugs-no:
Probably a wide road or something
Ah c'mon it wasn't that bad
unrelated but did you know its publishing deal remains the highest figure ever paid for a work of literature
