Well I'm currently reading Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". To be perfectly honest, I've been reading it for some time now since I seem to get through only a few pages each day. I will post my thoughts on the book when I'm done reading it but for now I just wanted to post some pictures of the book itself. Even though I'm reading it for the first time, I actually bought the book three years ago for two reasons:
1. I knew it was a classic and that I should probably read it at some point
2. The copy I bought was just too cute
I know that I should be ashamed to write that but I'm not. This copy is a red hardcover version with gold edges to the pages and a red ribbon for a bookmark. Plus, it comes in a seriously cute size - just look at it next to my purse (which is quite small, by the way). Aesthetically speaking this is a very pretty book. The publisher, The Collector's Library, has a number of books that are in this gorgeous format and I've already bought a few. I look forward to replacing my old, worn-out copies of classics and collecting more.
