Chapter 5, in which I make an argument about who the real hero is in the bishop’s day-to-day life

I think you’re definitely onto something, and while I don’t know what (if anything) can be done about it, knowing that this is a larger phenomenon will hopefully help me handle these situations with more grace

Holy crap I just discovered an entire subreddit of people who are doing what I’m doing (reading one chapter of Les Misérables a day and talking about it)

Once again nothing I do is original

AYearOfLesMiserables
The subreddit where we read the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo one chapter a day for a little over a year. Daily discussion posts.

You articulating this has helped me a lot with the furious confusion I feel in these situations, thank you

Chapter 4, in which I somehow drag in the movie Ever After lesmis.doodlyroses.com/2025/12/06/p...

Men have no business complaining they can’t get ladies when there are so many women out here with no standards whatsoever

Chapter 3, in which donkeys are maligned and the bishop is kind of a passive-aggressive icon

Our sweet bishop is passive-aggressive in the most endearing way.

Imagining us descending on an animal shelter, copies of Les Mis under our arms, being all “hello we are here to name all the cats”

Also just realized that "Monsieur Bienvenu" is also a v good cat name

I ADORE him, at this point I'm like "why isn't the whole book just about this man"

Chapter 2, where I realize that I might be in for a great time (also the bishop is totally a chaotic good alignment, right?)

Victor Hugo is extremely funny and I love the bishop so much.

From now on I am going to mentally categorize every auxiliary character as a Glup Shitto

I was JUST thinking that Myriel would be a fantastic cat name

In fact I’m thinking I need to keep a page set aside in my Hugoposting notebook just to jot down all the great cat names

Wouldn’t you prefer to have the beach, palm trees, and crippling traffic
