Silo has mixed feelings about Proust. On the one hand, I'm sitting still. On the other, I'm holding the book, making notes, and taking pictures, so I'm not petting as much as I ought to. (And of course, I'm also posting on Litsy, so I'm not reading as much as I ought to, either.)
Proust on why we read fiction. #proust2026 @TheBookHippie
I'm making some headway with #Proust2026 and this passage knocked me absolutely flat today. It's tough reading, no doubt, but I'm approaching it like written Pointillism: I'm often in the middle of a bunch of dots, but at certain moments, the whole picture washes over me. I'm doing 10 pages at a time, and some days I sigh in frustration and have to remind myself of the rewards of slow diligence. But today? Today I was moved to tears.
The most comforting sleep for me is when I have showered and ready to leave, school had been suddenly canceled. I put on pajamas, wrap myself with the covers, lay down my head. I may or may not have a book. I'm so comfortable and that is the only time I truly feel pure hygge. In my middle age, I find i sleep better when the sun is up. During the days following Helene, I would just lay on top of the covers, it was hellishly hot,
pickDuring the holidays, I read several books to my bestie's child, and Clover was one of them.
Beautifully illustrated with a nice plot. Definitely recommend it ;)
Reading the first 10 pages for #Proust2026 at a local pond.
This is a book to be savored, because it‘s about sensations, not plot, so 10 pages seems like the right amount at one time. #SwannsWaySchedule

Volume 1 is a reread for me. I started this with a group here in 2020, but found pandemic stress did not allow for the concentration required to complete all the volumes. May 2026 be easier on us all. #proust2026
I‘ve been planning my #Proust2026 reading for Jan/Feb. this is the #ReadingPlan thus far! #SwannsWaySchedule
(I am aiming for around 10 pages a day most (but not all) days. I am not great with consistency, so the schedule takes that into account. And there are no chapters, because Proust! 🤪)
