This year I thoroughly enjoyed reading Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, so much so that I bought myself a physical copy so I can read it again at some point. It's a hefty tome but lacks any of the woodcuts I am fond of seeing in the works of Dickens I have. To this end, here is a woodcut created by ChatGPT of the cast:

From top left: "Javert; stern, in the top hat. Fantine; centered above, with flowing hair and a sorrowful expression. Enjolras; top right, rallying with the flag. Cosette (as a child); middle left, wide-eyed. Marius Pontmercy; middle center, wearing the cravat. Gavroche; bottom left, the streetwise boy with a defiant grip. Jean Valjean; bottom center, bearded and resolute. Éponine; bottom right, in the bonnet, watchful and somber."

This took two attempts because it used the same face and hair for Gavroche as Fantine, Cosette, and Éponine. It must be drawing from a limited pool.

Earlier this year I worked my way through the Twilight Saga books and then DVDs, having only seen the first instalment already.

Guess who.

I'm currently working my way through some Jason Statham movies, I don't think I'll request any woodcuts of that...
