When asked the question, "What's your favourite book?" I've always struggled. Nothing stands out to me as being better than others I've read. Plus, many of my favourite reads are series, and even if I can point to my favourite book in that series, it doesn't stand without the rest of the series for context.
But I have just finished Les Misérables, and can confidently say I had a fantastic time reading it. Sure, there were a few diversions, but on the whole, I reckon it is the best book I have ever read.
