Hello Venerable Bede, I posted the following in response to your post on "what are you reading now?" thread. In the liklihood that my response gets buried up, I wanted to post it here as well - The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a favorite of mine. Funny you mention the “…long, boring dissertation on the nature of monuments…” You might find this discussion interesting – jump to post no. 90: http://www.online-literature.com/for...t=44471&page=6 Enjoy your read.
