Thanks Geoff.
Andy you are fucking cool
Loved "Combray" but "Swann in Love" could only please a masochist.
Anno Dracula...the most audacious, the most ambitious, and perhaps the best literary mash up ever written.

In a very strange way I find Saki , very much connected to Marcel, though they are so different, there is so much in common in their way of thinking, philosophy of how to think, they do not preach, they do not guide us but they live within us once we read them. It is a bond beyond description.
Saki is somewhat more concise....
Really love it, one of my favorite series, I also really liked his Soldier of the Mist series
For a long time I would go to bed reading Proust's In Search of Lost Time. I would read it off an on, sometimes only a paragraph at a time, sometimes a few pages, enraptured by the prose and by the thoughts, though in terms of plot it seemed to me to be the most plotless book I had ever read, with the most inactive protagonist in all of literature. Sometimes the game for me would be to try to find the verb in the long sentence, and sometimes I failed at that. Sometimes it was incredibly boring, but I wanted to keep reading. I would put it down and read other books, then pick it up again. After reading the third of its seven volumes I decided to read a synopsis of the first volume, and realized that I had missed most of what was going on. Nevertheless, I read on. It took over ten years. At the conclusion I was filled with such experience that I decided that this was the greatest novel I had ever read or was likely to ever read. Now I am rereading it again from the beginning, and am able to recognize much more of what is going on. But it will take Time.
As some one who has just begun to tackle it, too amongst other books, this is a great comment and spurs me on with it some more. However, I'm not sure whether to stick with Moncrieff translation.
I bought my volumes individually and there were a mix of translations. I don't have the expertise to say that one was better than the other. I think that Proust's writing style probably overwhelms whatever differences there may be in the effect of the translation. ~ Along the way I read "Proust's Way" and "The Proust Project," and those helped me.
This is the type of thing you finish reading, pause, and then say to yourself, "What did I just read?" Temporal paradoxes aside, it's like somebody read "The Cat in the Hat" and then rewrote the classic children's picture book into a novella length story. It's like somebody read Freud, found it ridiculous, and decided to pen a satirical piece of psychoanalytical bait about a lonely old man, his two restless balls that he hides in his closet, his fear and loathing of children, and his job at which he feels at once persecuted by his male superior while also trapped in the role of ersatz-parent and pseudo-guardian to two unruly incompetent adolescents. The only hint of what I recognize as the typically "Kafkaesque" is the joke about how, after Blumfeld repeatedly petitions "the boss" for an assistant, he receives not one, but _two_ assistants, who unintentionally succeed only in making his job even more irritating. Moreover, there's the implicit threat that any complaints about this new state of affairs will be met with the assignment of even _more_ useless assistants. The rest of the story is seems random... even by Kafka's standards. Just what was he thinking?
Oran actually is a beautiful city espacially her cost it has a spanish vibe to it since spanish lived there so it influenced the architecture
wow cool Hillary Clinton & nutjob snow fake circus in town , l want buy ticket lol
I am reading the book now and wanted to listen to this for extra context. Although I am glad I heard the talk I found it more disorganized than it should have been and failed to deliver a punchy thesis message.
this is one of my favourite books.
I grew up during the period when the four books were released, although I've only just started reading 'Shadow of the Torturer'. I did research on The Book Of The New Sun first, because I didn't want to commit to reading it without at least an outline of some of the issues I'd have to be watchful for and some basic idea of what Wolfe was attempting. I amn't disappointed so for and for a book with so many layers it is a very compulsive read. Just try to be aware of how your brain might be automatically interpreting the writing content and style (assumptions and misdirection, etc.). It is also clearly science fiction with a fantasy style overlay.
When you think of all the money that has been spent on frankly mediocre fantasy TV/movies in the past 4 decades this is a series that is crying out for adaption to the screen. I mean it's miles better than The Witcher which cost $80 million for the first season alone, Severian is a far more engaging and complex character than Geralt. There is no justice in the world.
Please someone answer.... what is the difference between shadow and the claw compared to The Shadow of the Torturer, They say they are both volume 1
+crazyvideoguy1 'Shadow & Claw' is 'Shadow of the Torturer' combined with 'Claw of the Concillator', so it's volumes one and two. The next is 'Sword and Citadel', which combines 'Sword of the Lictor' and 'Citadel of the Autarch' - volumes three and four.
+Kyle Harmieson Thanks bro! actually my copy just came in today!! and im one the second chapter already!!!!! whoop
crazyvideoguy1 I've almost finished the four of them altogether, spent the last couple weeks reading them. It's an amazing ride, and if you're anything like me, you'll love it, too. Also, if you've any questions about books in the future, try www.goodreads.com. It's like the IMDB of books, with a friendly community of readers and reviewers.
+Kyle Harmieson thanks for the support bro! it already sounds amazing!
The word on the street: A recent colonoscopy revealed Hillary Clinton has a brain tumor.
The religious undertone to this book is amazing!
trha2222 Not quite, but pretty close in a Cthulhu Fhtagn kinda way, but without the post modern spin, likened to Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, however, with Borges undertones as if he were writing a Thanos comic series epic......ya, kinda like dat!
@trha2222 Ha, you don't know that Wolfe is a huge fan of Borges? Tsk, tsk...now go to your room....jk...

Maybe only academics have this problem finding meaning in life. Maybe we aren't in a crisis of meaning with secularism.
What?
Oran is a costal town, actually. Not only does Camus make reference to its proximity to the sea, but part of Oran's border also lies in contact with the sea -- if you look at a map.
I've read it. It took me 7 months (10 pages per day) and I'm planning to read it again :)

The greatest book review of all time. SuperPussyFinger has spoken.
Hard to talk bout this book without spoilers. X says he's Y but he think's really Z or maybe ...oh total mindscrew. You can just about follow the plot but you get to the end thinking, what was that all about? It's a much better written and more complex novel than Ulysses btw.
Smart chicks are hot.
Gene wolfe may be my favorite catholic...and favorite catholic writer, of popular fantasy i know of...
coastal town of Algeria? get a map! coastal town of Oran, in the country Algeria. pedantry aside, the plague is an incredible book
Great series. Possibly the best I've ever read. I would also recommend The Knight by Gene Wolfe. I read it as a kid and it's become one of the only novels I've ever read more than once. Alongside A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick it's my favorite novel.
marry me!
I want to support local bookstores. But I am also (as a grad student) drowning in books. Ebooks have been a gift from God for my clutter problem. And I know we want to demonize Amazon, but I can be online at my desktop, taking notes in a text. I go to a class, pull up the same text on my iPad--and my notes and highlights are there. I'm in line waiting on something the next day, and the text and my notes also automatically sync to the iPhone. A physical book can't compete with that for me.
As a bookseller, I've always wondered what (non)customers are thinking when they turn to me and say, quite innocently, "That's ok. I'll just buy it online." What would your parents say if they cooked you dinner, set the table and served it up, and then you walked into the room and said, "That's ok. I'll just go to McDonalds." Great vid! I'm spreading the word. This baby's going viral.
