My intro to Les Misérables.

So far I am only 9 chapters into the first book Volume I. - Fantine, Book One - Just A Man.

We have a Bishop, M. Charles-Francois-Bienvenu Myriel, who is our main character for the first book I guess. He seems to be creating a positive impact on his community, moving the hospital to his estate, visiting prisoners before their execution, and meeting with poor villages in the hills. He seems to have a big heart and takes no shortcuts, he always puts others first.

So far this book is very dry, It's hard not to zone out but I will be persistent through this book. It's only ~1600 pages. I may need to use spark notes though.

I'm going to keep updating this as i go. Hopefully it will help me stay engaged.
