I really shouldn't ask this because I already have too many books to finish, but what book are you reading and do you recommend it?

I'm always so happy when somebody else likes to read.
I have been working my way through Les Misérables, in the original French, in my free time for several years now :D I definitely recommend it if you know more French, and French history, than I do. Otherwise it is a hard slog though definitely worth it.
