Les miserables is worth it, really.

Or, how to read a monster-length book and still have room in your bag.

This is absolutely wonderful and engaging, laugh, cry, growl, the works. You may find yourself bringing it up in extremely unrelated conversations, "Thats like when in Les Miz. [insert approprite anedote]."



To avoid carrying a brick around, I recommend buying a cheap paperback copy like the one shown. Find the start of the four or five books that make up the volume. Carefully break the spine at the start of each books and carefully take an exacto knife to the seam between pages.



(If you care about rereading or think you might pass it on to a friend, make new covers for each section with cardstock and packing or duct tape.)



Enjoy your newly carriable volumes of Les Miserables!
