"No." The answer is immediate. "Why should you read it? We needed to know what it touched on about our work; enough of us have read it to know that." That was why he read it at first, at least as early as he did.
"And for me, twice so. I wouldn't call Hugo a friend-hah, now I've read more of his work I really wouldn't call him a friend. We'd only met a few times. But we had friends and cause in common." It may not have been a cause that matters--or even makes any sense-- to many of Bahorel's friends here, but that's never bothered him. " I had to see how it went. But you? Read the sections I gave Enjolras. That's all you need to have in detail. Read it if you want; it's a good book, for a book. You'll understand what it's doing better than most. But need to? No. Never, if you don't want to."
And because Feuilly's ears are turning pink, he adds " And you don't need to read any of Shakespeare's opinions about your knight, either. The history doesn't really line up with ours, and I'm sure you know the person much better than the Bard ever imagined him."
...Only very slight Eyebrows. Out of deference to Feuilly's apparent delicacy.
