This are first two books I had read since January 1. Description of the rest I will post later.
Time regained by Marcel Proust. Some volumes of In a seach of lost time I didn't like because of amount of characters in them and description who was visiting who, who wasn't talking to who and so on. I read Time regained rather fast as for such a book. This volume was edited and published 5 years after Marcel Proust's death. The main character summarizes his life while being ill and spending most of his time in sanatoriums. In previous volumes Marcel wants to became an artist - in Time regained he gaines maturity to start real artistic work of his own. He visits the Guermantes family and some memories show up in his head. Marcel Proust wrote great book that - as Frank says to Dwayne in Little Miss Sunshine - almost no one reads. Some books are good when you read them not force to and your teenage years are a little bit away.
