I tried to read Les Miserables when I was about 12 or so, but I got bored with it after a while and never finished it.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's wrong with people? I just finished discussing with a recruiter a job opportunity that insists on the applicants submitting a business requirements document, a functional requirements document, and a workflow diagram. Who has those lyring around or can whip them up just like that? I'd have to lift something from work, and that's not right.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, I've seen those "lifted" with any pertinent confidential data redacted. Would that work?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, when I have to give a writing sample, I do give something from work. It's pretty common in my field. The request, anyway. Which reminds me, I should sock away some things from this job....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
WRT kids reading age-inappropriate books: One of my friends is an Americanist. When her daughter was six, the young girl picked up her mother's copy of Moby Dick and started reading it. And apparently liked it enough to want to bring it to school the next day to finish reading it. Her teacher was a bit alarmed. My friend was more amused, esp when her daughter expressed interest in getting a Quiqueg (sp?) action figure.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, in completely different news, I spent part of this morning looking at pictures of Christian Bale to send you.
Thank you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
