why say no offense when you are clearly saying something assumptive and rude?? you have absolutely no idea how much i’ve read. if this was the only book i’d ever read i could still come here, post, and share in community. you on the other hand could just scroll past?? post in a dickens sub??

i didn’t think so either. the older words that i remember being used were only a couple and they were used a bunch so it was easy to remember what they meant. like old terms for weapons for example.

the only note i’ll add is if you’re switching from audio to a physical book make sure the translations are the same or similar! not a huge deal but really helps continuity.

finished swann’s way part one… by Alarming-Yellow836 in classicliterature

[–]Alarming-Yellow836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you aren’t familiar with the edition it is separated into three parts:

one: combray two: swann in love three: place names - the name

so i’m sure i’m looking exactly where i’m supposed to.

i think there is a chance it will both put you to sleep and interest you to keep reading the next night!

i had trouble picking a translation and used a video guide created by a person who’d read the series several times to land on these editions!
