Dead forever?

Well, we had our last meeting yesterday and it was good to wrap things up after a year of reading Proust together.  Not everyone is quite done, but most of our stalwarts are very close to completion.  And much like Bergotte's life after death through his books, the Proust Reading Group will live on in our oh-so-sensitive hearts.  More accurately, we will also have a celebratory movie night in the new year to watch Raul Ruiz's Time Regained.  The exact date is to be determined, but we were thinking around the first week of February.  If you'd like to attend, leave a message here and I'll be sure to get you more details as they become available.

Last meeting!

Hard to believe that it's already been a year since we set forth on our task to read In Search of Lost Time in its entirety back in January.  Not everyone made it, but it's pretty impressive that a core group of us is nearing the finish line, if not having already completed the task.  So it is with mixed emotions that I say that tomorrow, Dec. 12, is our last meeting!  We will complete discussion of Time Regained and the novel as a whole, and perhaps plan a celebratory movie night in the new year to cap things off.  Hope to see you tomorrow!
