One Year In Search of Lost Time ~ 2015 discussion

End of The Fugitive, Chapter 1 (~51.1%).

I just got here, did anyone else already?

The Chapter Two title sure is foreboding... ;)

I have to admit that I'm into the last volume and no longer reading with the schedule. :)

Is it "Mademoiselle de Forcheville" in your edition, Simon?

No problem, Teresa, though it would be nice if you still joined our discussions. I can understand that it's too appealing to read ahead and not stick to the schedule now towards the end of this Proust journey.

Yes, it is Mademoiselle de Forcheville, i'm actually using MKE on Kindle, as somehow volume 5/6 and 3 i think of the Penguin are not available on Kindle.

I think if i really reread Proust next year (though the Against the Day and A Dance to the Music of time groups already make for a lot of scheduled reading), i'd probably take Jacob's advice and read 1-6 of MKE and 7 of Penguin. Then i can compare it with my Penguin reads, too.

Of course I will. :) It also has to do with my state of mind right now. Beforehand I was always reading something else 'in between'; right now I don't have the focus for that.

I think Jonathan may have suggested that strategy. I've only read the Penguin. I might use the MKE my next time through, I'm not sure. It'll be hard to part from what I've know for two reads.

Sorry, your names are too close... so you read the Penguin editions twice now? Or Moncrieff? I mostly read Penguin and found it great, especially for the annotations, but MKE reads very well too.

I've read my Penguin ebooks twice. I think this year I might buy ISOLT in print. If I do I'll get MKE so I have something different, and then I'll probably give MKE a try.

Heh, that's nice to know, i thought i might be the only Penguin ebook hipster ;)
strange, now Amazon has all the Penguin volumes for Kindle. I could swear volume 3 and 5 weren't available some months ago.
Where did you get your ebooks if i may ask?

I got them from Waterstone's in England in epub format. I got them in 2010, and I'm not even sure if you can buy ebooks from out of the country now. I had to do that because at the time only the first 3 volumes were published in the US, ebook or print.
