No Time for Proust
Finished up War and Peace, thereby proving that it can be done. Sam said, "We should celebrate!" so we are -- we're having borscht tonight. We love borscht. We are glad to have an occasion to eat it. I've got pumpernickle bread in the bread machine, to go with it -- not, I suppose, Russian, but close enough.
Now! Back to the giant pile of books by my bed! They kept piling up all the time I was reading The Tome -- I kept buying them, and Tolstoy was clogging the drain, as it were, so there wasn't that sort of flowing rhythm I've come to expect from the books in my life.
This means, sorry to say to the person -- you know who you are -- who's been trying to talk me into reading Proust -- that I'm not going to do it this minute. Maybe later. But at some point I bought about three volumes of Edith Stein's works, and several current novels, and I got behind on Granta, and whatnot, and if this gets any worse, I'll have to crawl into bed from the foot of it, cause I won't be able to climb over the pile of books at the side.
(I don't know for sure who came by the page from an Albuquerque-registered site at about 5:00 AM Albuquerque time, but I've got a pretty good idea. Hi, Daddy! Found me again, did ya?)
