guys i love Les Misérables by Victor Hugo so much

This book genuinely changed me into a better person. I love it so much that recently I was in a bookstore looking for the Hunchback of Notre-Dame, and I had to ask for help finding where Victor Hugo's books were so a kind bookstore lady help me. She reached for the book, and also another, and held up the Hunchback and Les Misérables and said, "Here's another we have by Victor Hugo, if you were interested." I told her that I had already read Les Misérables, that it was actually my favourite book of all time, and she asked me what I like about it. I physically started shaking as I rambled on semi-incoherently and I think I scared her a little and my face got really hot. In the end I really don't think I said anything at all, because I got so nervous, and now I'm ashamed of that incident. Whenever my friends mention anything that remind me of Les Misérables, I feel like a pop bottle that got shaken up. The lid is my mouth, and if I open it I will explode.

I have only read it in it's entirety once, as it is massive, and I read it a year and a half ago for the first time. I spent nearly ten months with it on my bedside table, and almost every night I'd open it up and read random bits.

Okay I wrote a review on it for a grade 12 assignment so here's a part of it, to convince you to read it:

Les Misérables is humanity as Victor Hugo saw it lived out on the streets of France sewn together into one lengthy, semi-historical epic. Everything beautiful and soft there is about different types of love, and the more cruel, merciless aspects of society. In fact, the novel argues that “of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds the most light, alas! And the most darkness” (Hugo 875). Never does this novel lack passion for human emotion and expression... Valjean’s redemption is not treated as something unachievable, but rather as something even the most discontented person can realize through a practice of compassion for others, especially towards those fellow men who society puts down and crushes with hunger, poverty and misfortune. The novel critiques the scornful attitude society generally has towards those it considers ‘less than’ by offering a protagonist completely devoted to serving anyone but himself.

GUYS PLEASE READ IT IM GONNA START SHAKING AGAIN ITS SO GOOD PLEASE

okay thanks for listening with patience everybody, have a great day! Let me know if you feel this way about another book, and why. I'd love to know I'm not the only coocoo one around here

▲ 1 r/braces

OKAY so i have a pretty gummy smile its whatever i inherited it from my dear mother. I had braces on for two years, teeth straight now, got 'em off this morning (YAY)! But throughout that time, the brackets sat against my gums. IDK why specifically, i'm sure they had a reason since my teeth aren't THAT small, there was plenty of room idk why they chose on my gums, but anyhow, I just came to the unfortunate realization that I probably wasn't able to clean my gums properly for two years because of the bracket blocking it. I flossed sometimes but.. not really.

My ortho did say politely that I have some gingivitis and to just floss and it'll go away so like cool I can do that, but brushing is so painful. I'm planning on flossing every day, brushing 2-3 times a day, probably salt water rinse i don't know bro. I flossed occasionally and ALWAYS brushed my teeth at least twice a day. I've brushed twice since morning when i got the braces off and both times certain areas of my gum start bleeding and overall it just hurts and it feels SOOO sensitive. It never hurt to brush before right now.

Is there anything I can do to help my poor gums? I'm not tryna start uni this fall with gingivitis and swollen gums gng

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
