Welcome to Litsy!

Cold lockdown night in bed with Colette. It‘s so weird that I read Claudine at School back in March or April way at the beginning of lockdown and reading the sequel now feels like picking something up from years and years ago. I don‘t understand time at all this year and I‘m starting to feel a bit yellow wallpaperish in the flat, nice and new tho it is. If I start saying there‘s a woman in the duvet pattern pls alert someone...

Pretty good book! Probably considered oh la la! R-rated at the time. A fun read even today with the narrative light-hearted and so self-aware. Oh la la!

Haul from Shakespeare & Co. I was going to get a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo after I heard Celeste Ng talk about it, but they only had an abridged copy. 🙅🏼 I decided to give Colette a spin. I wanted to buy a classic French work (Collete), a contemporary French work (Modiano), and a popular French work I‘d never heard of (Gavalda). Can I stay here forever?
