oh catherine darling! if you knew how much i agree with you. i will never
ever ever be able to finish a la recherche. it's a lost cause with me. ditto
ulysses, ditto any paul auster book. i am so sorry to be such a lowbrow but
give me maugham, give me robertson davies, give me nancy mitford. now i know
i'll never try again.
wallyK, life is simply too short, for god's sake

I once tried reading that darn Proust thing and I got
so sick of that madeleine that I just couldn't go on.
I know Proust was supposed to be a great writer, but I
just couldn't handle it - enough of the damn cookie!
Get on with it, willya?
