Hello, everyone! As you may know, I was unable to attend the meeting last night as I was stuck on the other side of town and unable to get in touch with anyone. I hope that the meeting was a good one, though, and feel free to add a comment here about any interesting discussion.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, November 29. I assume we'll be discussing Time Regained, but let me know where you are in your reading.
I was not able to make it this week but am well into Time Regained and looking forward to the next meeting.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my favourite quote from The Fugitive:
“After a certain age our memories are so intertwined with one another that what we are thinking of, the book we are reading, scarcely matters any more. We have put something of ourselves everywhere, everything is fertile, everything is dangerous, and we can make discoveries no less precious than in Pascal’s Pensées in an advertisement for soap.”

"A partir d'un certain âge nos souvenirs sont tellement entre-croisés les uns sur les autres que la chose à laquelle on pense, le livre qu'on lit n'a presque plus d'importance. On a mis de soi-même partout, tout est fécond, tout est dangereux, et on peut faire d'aussi précieuses découvertes que dans les Pensées de Pascal dans une réclame pour un savon."
