The Miserable Ones

So I have begun reading Les Miserables and I can't believe I haven't read this before.  I'm not that far in, but I loved it the second I started reading it.  I am sure there will be many more, but the quote I read today is my favorite so far.

"This is not my house; it is the house of Jesus Christ.  This door does not demand of him who enters whether he has a name, but whether he has a grief.  You suffer, you are hungry and thirsty; you are welcome."
- Bishop Bienvenu

I'm impressed by your selection. This is a great novel. I read parts in French class both in HS and at EC. You'd like the movie too.
