I started up "Swann's Way" by Marcel Proust again. Whose full name is somewhat audacious and pretentious: Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust. Either way, it is a wonderful book. Im about 50 pages in. It is a trilogy. "In Search of Lost Time," respectively.
Most lay people may recognize the name from the delightful film "Little Miss Sunshine." Steve Carell's character, Frank Ginsberg (perhaps an allusion to Allen?), is, as i recall, the "preeminent Proust scholar."
also i have misplaced a considerable amount of my philosophy collection. about 3 nietzsche texts and 2 kant texts. only 5 books, but in the scheme of things, they are pretty significant.
and the oklahoma city friends of the library sale is coming up. it is amazing. it is a piece of heaven in the hell that is oklahoma. i am quite positive that it is the vacation spot for pestilence.
i plan on adding some nice new materials for my book collection.
