It's a lot more scientific than I expected, but totally fascinating.

Trying to wrap this one up (In Search of Lost Time, vol I):



I'm reading it in English because I don't have it in French, unfortunately. Proust can be sublime and dull in one and the same tome. His prose is poetic and exceptional, of course, as long as it's not text involving description of mundane dinners with direct speech. Combray (part 1) was beautiful. Swann in Love (part 2), on the other hand is much less so. He is cheapening his work by descending into treating such lame events.

The Blood Red City by Justin Richards

Was excited about starting Ovid, ...but I'm struggling with it. I don't know if it's the translation or if the text really is that dull and tedious. It does not capture me at all. It's dry, and there's too much subject matter crammed into any given passage. Too much quantity and not enough quality. I'm disappointed with it so far.




I like Japanese literature a lot, and I'm reading this one at the moment:

War With Russia by General Sir Richard Shirreff (Former head of NATO)

Released on the 6th Oct 2016

Well worth a read, it might even show up on the news because of the information in the forward is very damming towards the UK government.
