So many wonderful books on that shelf, Aaron! Your copy of Heart of Darkness has a terrifying cover on it! I smiled when you said that the Strudelhof Steps feels small by comparison to Les Miserables. I was just actually thinking that Bleak House, which I also love and which I re-read last fall, seems small compared to Les Miserables! I guess almost everything does! Now I'm finding myself wanting to buy you a copy of Rebecca! 😊
Yeah, I feel like my metric for a long book has shot up after starting Les Misérables! It is a rather creepy cover on Heart of Darkness -- I have been thinking about swapping editions.
