As a Digital Reader, I Bought Proust in Paperback

I started my journey with In Search of Lost Time in December of 2021. I bought all of the Moncrieff, Kilmartin, Enright translations in digital form for my kindle, but I did purchase the Penguin Classics edition of Swann's Way in paperback translated by Lydia Davis. 

After reading A Budding Grove both on my kindle and some in the paperback I purchased by Modern Library, I knew that I needed the entire series in physical form.

This statement probably doesn't mean anything to most people, but as someone who only owns 25 books, adding another 6 to my collection is a big deal. 

I headed over to Book Depository and ordered the entire set from Vintage Classics. These are also the Moncrieff, Kilmartin, Enright translations.

I am anxiously awaiting their arrival.

I adore reading digitally and will defend doing so until the end of time, but there are just some novels that demand a deep savoring. Some novels that demand being marked up within an inch of their existence.

So it is with the writings slash dialogue slash philosophy that is The Search.

I'll document here my journey with In Search of Lost Time (A la recherche du temps perdu). I have been taking my time with it, but as I slow my reading down, I anticipate that I can delve more deeply into the work this Autumn and Winter.

I will photograph them and display them here as soon as they arrive hopefully by next week!

Happy reading my slow living friends.
