December 1st, 2010 at 3:09 pmYes, I’ve read Eugene Sue’s THE WANDERING JEW. Most of it while flying standby on a long flight across the country and spending lots of hours between planes stuck in various terminals.
That was nearly forty years ago, so I don’t remember much.
A few years after that I tried to teach myself French with a French-language copy of Sue’s MYSTERIES OF PARIS and a French-English dictionary. I think I got about five pages done before getting distracted.
