The Wednesday is Too Much With Us

What I've Finished Reading

I bought The Disaster Artist on impulse and finished it in about a day. It's a largely sympathetic account of Tommy Wiseau and the making of The Room, according to the book's subtitle "the greatest bad movie ever made." I'm not sure what I think of it.

Sis keeps telling me to try Proust (she read it when she was learning French, the smartypants). One of these days....

Recommended! If you're not feeling up to a full 4000 pages of gossip and insomnia, you can read the "Combray I" or "Swann in Love" sections of Swann's Way as standalones, or just read all of Swann's Way and call it a day.

Did your sister read it in French? I'd love to, but it's hard and I'm lazy.

Yes, she read it in French. She has learned both French and German, and reads quite a bit in both.

Me, I claim three languages: English, bureaucratese and gobbledygook.
