Okay I’m going to read Les Miserables and I’m going to finish it this time

I REALLY WANT TO READ IT

But I do have a really stupid question. Why do people on the Les Mis tag (and possibly everywhere else) call Enjolras/Grantaire ‘E/R’?

I haven’t actually read Les Miserables yet, but it’s because in the book Grantaire signs his name “R.” The French for “capital R” is “grande R,” which sounds like … Grantaire.

Aha! Thank you!

Currently up to (I actually started about a week ago) the sentence ‘at that moment there came a tolerably violent knock on the door’. Which sounds very Fourth Doctor -ish. Tolerably violent! I quite dig it.
