----Well, time for another book. My choice for now is Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. Judging by length, (1222 pages, ouch) it's highly unlikely I'll be able to finish this by the end of the project, but whatever. I can always renew it.
----The main reasons I chose this book are because the movie was amazing, and because there's a musical, the soundtrack of which I am listening to as I type this. It's entirely in French, however, so my Francophone friends are going to have to help me.
----Enough talk. I have spent the past twenty pages listening to a detailed account of a priest, Monsieur Bienvenu (whose name means Mr. Welcome, by the way). He appears to be perfect in all regards, giving most of his modest income to the poor, saving the world, and being respected by all at the same time. Actually, he reminds me of Kim's lama because he's so benevolent. He lives with his sister, who is like a very holy ghost, and his housekeeper, who is a moody white-haired grandmother. There. Twenty pages of fine print in one paragraph.
----To be honest, something's better happen soon, or I'm just abandoning this. But I have hope- the movie was good.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the action part of it. My book was not as action-filled as the movie eighter. It still ended a fairly well-written book and certainly had a good message, but it just didn't have any real action beyond the prison-break.
