Because I'm a Theatre Geek.

Although I did like the story line of Leroux's book more the storyline of ALW's version. But I LOVE ALW's music.

I've made it partway through Les Mis. I think I'd do better with the abridged version though. Although I must say that I enjoy reading it more in the original French then I do in English.

Was not a fan of the book The Phantom of the Opera. Expected more from it. It was kind of dry.

Serait-cela parfait si je supposais que vous avez parlé français? Si vous parlez français: quel étaient les problèmes de langue que vous avez rencontrés en lisant Les Misérables dans le français prévu?

I can read and understand French, but since meeting my husband and learning Spanish, I can no longer speak/spell in French.

My problem with reading Les Mis was mostly just time constraints. It's lengthy, and in a book like that, I can't read as fast as I would with a regular novel. Plus, the entire section about the Priest is sort of dry.
