Man, I hated this book--which, of course, didn't stop me from reading the whole 1,500,000 of it just to prove to myself that I could do it. But, yeah, I guess that describes me pretty damn well.

You're Les Miserables!
by Victor Hugo
One of the best known people in your community, you have become
something of a phenomenon. People have sung about you, danced in your honor, created all
manner of art in your name. And yet your story is one of failure and despair, with a few
brief exceptions. A hopeless romantic, you'll never stop hoping that more good will come
from your failings than is ever possible. Beware detectives and prison guards bearing
vendettas.
