READ THYSELF: I found this quiz linked from bookofdays. It's a good answer, since Hugo is my favorite novelist, but this is only my fourth favorite novel by him. (His best is Quatre-vingt-treize.)

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.
