I love it when there's a guy who lost their name. forgot it, discarded it, don't use it, can't use it, had it stolen, even just when a title is used to avoid saying it. all good stuff

bonus addendum! also guys who never had one! love guys who never had a name!!

I was thinking, "Oh, I'm having such a hard time getting through Les Mis, maybe I'll go back to the audiobook instead of reading it with my eyes", only to remember that my library's copy DOESN'T HAVE CHAPTER MARKERS. It doesn't even break it up by volume! It's all random! And the Librivox recording is fine, just a little annoying because I had to download it all as individual chapters and so every five minutes or so I have to pull up the next chapter, adjust the speed because they all read like turtles, and then skip through the introduction. And sometimes that alone is enough to make me stop listening for the day.

"Fine!" I thought. "I guess I'll just see about buying it!"

The cheapest audiobook is AI narrated, and the next cheapest one is $8, which is like... Not bad, but how much more money am I going to spend trying to find a way to finish this damn book before the year runs out? I haven't been able to find any bootleg copies.

I'm in hell.

Can anyone rec any good Audiobooks of LM?

The Julie Rose translation read by George Guidall is my favorite. I find Guidall's reading to be quite cozy to listen to and it's marked by book (as in I.I, I.II, etc.).
