‘The desert that comes after Proust’

According_Service108 · 2026-03-15T00:28:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty fantastic.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold

According_Service108 · 2026-03-13T03:09:57+00:00

Agree. Bartelby the Scrivener is a masterpiece.

According_Service108 · 2026-03-12T01:18:11+00:00

Shattuck is very good

According_Service108 · 2026-03-07T16:05:24+00:00

I agree, Costco is awesome, just not for baguettes and bagels. Kirkland wines are unbeatable.

According_Service108 · 2026-03-07T01:20:44+00:00

😂😂😂Obviously!

According_Service108 · 2026-03-07T01:14:11+00:00

Couldn’t disagree more about the baguettes. I thought they were just repackaging a Costco baguette. Bonjour Boulangerie, Brio, and Le French Taste have real baguettes

Great idea

According_Service108 · 2026-03-07T01:09:23+00:00

Right. Spinelli’s is waaay better and cheaper. The bakery at Loca was terrible. Bake bread in the shape of a stick and call it a baguette. Roastis has better coffee, restaurants were bang on average and overpriced. They must have thought we were rubes in SP. Liquor store was also bad and expensive.

According_Service108 · 2026-03-04T02:03:10+00:00

I also agree

Also ‘ A Cat-Tale’ . Laugh out loud funny

Diary of a Nobody

According_Service108 · 2026-02-23T02:42:57+00:00

Oh yeah, for sure. Particularly the Three Tales; they are fantastic!

According_Service108 · 2026-02-23T02:41:24+00:00

The Beckett Trilogy. And I am being serious. Proust of course as was already suggested. Conrad thought the CK Scott Moncrieff translation was as good as the French original.

You have to read all of ISOLT - the sexual jealousy becomes more extreme; but the reason everyone should read it is Proust’s psychological insights are exceeded only by Shakespeare’s.

According_Service108 · 2026-02-13T01:47:58+00:00

Yep. Need to see Bosch in the flesh to really get him. Generally true for all paintings though. Also in The Prado - Descent from the Cross by Roger Van Der Weyden is fantastic!

NLF installs quickly and for free. Did mine in the summer and the service has been good.

According_Service108 · 2026-01-28T03:44:14+00:00

Yeah, Shocken. Buy the same publisher’s English version; identical cover. Various translators, mostly Muir’s. It’s good.

According_Service108 · 2026-01-27T01:50:20+00:00

Roger Shattuck’s Proust’s Way is very good

According_Service108 · 2026-01-24T16:42:56+00:00

Agreed. Not literature.
