Now and Rome: books i have(n't) read
http://nowandrome.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-books-post.html
Sunday, 3 May 2009. Books i have(n't) read. I am reading A La Recherche du Temps Perdu. In French, by which I mean that I took about a year to read Du cote du chez Swann. A year or two ago and have just got A l'ombre des jeune filles en fleur. Which I also read in French without knowing what lots of the words meant, so some. Kind of encounter is going on between me and the text.) It makes me think about Pierre Bayard's How To Talk About Books You Haven't Read. Is very closely related to Joyce's Ulysses.

Is a skill in itself&#...
