Bonjour Julie! Merci de ton bon commentaire! Merci d'avoir joint mon groupe Passion for Books! Pourrais-tu m'envoyer une demande " Add friends" sur Facebook? J'aimerais t'inclure parmi mes amis.
Concernant la question sur A la recherche : en effet, l'oeuvre de Proust étant assez colossale, pour arriver à gouter raisonnablement son écrit, il vaut mieux (à mon avis) lire le 1er et le 7eme pour voir l'évolution de sa plume et surtout son travail sur la mémoire et "la madeleine". C'est lire en parallèle : mais le temps est une boucle et donc on peut lire son oeuvre ainsi.
Peace

Behold, it comes in might,
The power that is not power,
The light that is in darkness,
The shade in dazzling light.

It is joy that never spoke,
And grief unfelt, profound,
Immortal life unlived,
Eternal death unmourned.

It is not joy nor sorrow,
But that which is between,
It is not night nor morrow,
But that which joins them in.

It is sweet rest in music;
And pause in sacred art;
The silence between speaking;
Between two fits of passion –
It is the calm of heart.

It is beauty never seen,
And love that stands alone,
It is song that lives un-sung,
And knowledge never known.

It is death between two lives,
And lull between two storms,
The void whence rose creation,
And that where it returns.

To it the tear-drop goes,
To spread the smiling form
It is the Goal of Life,
And Peace — its only home!

- Swami Vivekananda
I am flattered that you find my book inventory so interesting. We seem not to have such a great percentage of books in common (Perhaps this is due to differences in total books entered.).

Incidentally, although it is an entirely different biography than Barak Obama's Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, Dominic Dromgoole's Will & Me: How Shakespeare Took Over My Life, they both do, quite eloquently, narrate a young hormonal male teenager's ultimate life-shaping decisions.
