I’ve been out of town for most of this week, so pardon me if I haven’t been as active on Twitter, but I’ve definitely kept up with the conversation on Twitter at #LesMisReadalong. Here are some of the highlights from this past week:

#LesMisReadalong V1B3C2 Tholomyès does not sound like a great catch for 'little Fantine' though. "A 30 year old pleasure seeker and badly preserved". Although the 4,000 Francs per year would add to his charms I suppose.

#LesMisReadalong V1B3C3 Interesting that VH comments about the difference of 45 years to the surroundings of Paris, and the ease of travel. 1862 was also in the midst of the Haussmann changes to Paris- knocking down much of the poor housing and creating the grand boulevards.

Anyone else particularly surprised by the sudden appearance of a rollercoaster in 1817? I certainly was, but it's true! V1B3C4 #LesMisReadalong pic.twitter.com/vw0cwPPFuN

Favourite listened with profound attention. "Félix," said she, "what a pretty word. I like this name. It is Latin. It means prosperous."
V1 B3 C7 #LesMisReadalong
My father-in-law was named Felix, as is my younger grandson. In Latin it also means happy, fortunate, and fruitful.
