This ebook (kindle) of LES MISERABLES is free today (not sure if it's free every day but it was in my newsletter of free ebooks for today):

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GHNIRK/?tag=afbmf-20

Just ordered it... It will be nice to have that when I am done cleaning at work and have to sit on my turn and monitor.

I went to Build A Bear today with my nieces. It closes tomorrow. :(

Everything that was left was 50% off.

My mom had gone yesterday and got them each a bear they wanted (which she will give them for Valentine's Day).

So today they were using their Christmas money to get some clothes.

And they just called and dressed some of the bears in their haul. So cute!

Looks like tomorrow I'll finally get to meet the 5 Somali kids I helped bring over from Kenya (living with an Uncle) to be reunited with their dad.  It's the second or third time we've talked about getting together, but we've planned for tomorrow afternoon at an ice cream shop in their home town.

I am excited.  It took us nearly 2 years to get them here.  Lots of red tape and set backs

They love it here!  Of course they are with their Dad, who is now a US Citizen so that helps.  Their mother died a few years ago

I have friends who are caring for three South Sudanese children as their father is doing refugee and advocacy work. They are charming individuals.

Thank you JRand!

Glad to see you have not been buried too bad by all the snow in the Midwest... We have had some here but not a lot. We have a total of 6 inches...

DR JOHN G thanks for that link - that author is so myopic it is sad....even sadder is that she TEACHES and WRITES on something that might be fine as a personal opinion....but why clutter up the curriculum with it?

The comments are interesting.....and I am assuming that a lot of them are from her friends, students, or the writer herself.

I was wondering the same thing. I suspects she does not understand the Victorian era literature and Post French Revolution literature and both have very different mind sets and trajectories. Also social mores and local historical events will have an influence on how stories are written and presented. God forbid if the writer commented on a Richard Sheridan Brinsley play.

Well, I read the article on LES MIZ. Has this idiot ever read the novel?  Cosette is your typical Victorian heroine: virginal, pretty, bland, blonde, and an objet d'amour for Marius and a hope of redemption for Valjean. She's not as bland as David Copperfield's inane prototype for the Victorian novel, "child bride" Dora, who can't cook, keep house, or think sensibly and who for the benefit of all readers dies very soon after marrying David, but she's still the typical Victorian novel and theatrical heroine. By the 1870s in the theatre at least she'd become a joke, like most of Gilbert & Sullivan's  soprano ingenues, of which Rose Maybud is the   epitome of the calculating and golddigging, but on the surface sweet and innocent, heroine.

Elmore, I doubt she is familiar with the nuances of French or Victorian literature. I am no expert either but I do realize that historical time periods, stations in life, and perceived attitudes of the time will show how a story is told by writers of the day. I am sure she would find fault with Adam Bede but I find the book fascinating as a woman. I love Les Miz... She would definitely have an issue with Pagnol's work.
