From one Quarto to the next.

From one Quarto to the next. 📚📖
Having finished my first complete reading of “Jean Santeuil” 💙 this week, I’m now thinking of starting another, more substantial volume.
I’ve read it three times so far, and my old copy, bought in 1999 @librairie.dialogues, is a bit battered: it’s travelled, been through the mill, and lugged itself all the way from Brest ☔️ to Marseille ☀️ (yeah, baby), from Nantes ☁️ to the foot of Mont Ventoux 🏔️; it’s rolled, flown and made its way 💺 by every means possible. It’s spent dozens of hours before my eyes 👀, in my hands 🖐🏻, in my thoughts, and it’s even carved out a special place right in my heart. #choupinou 💔❤️🩹
It’s one of my old companions. It’s silly and materialistic, if you like, but I’m very attached to it all the same 🥺. So much so that I’m hesitating to use only this one for a fourth complete reading: doesn’t it deserve to have its pages spared from another go with the felt-tip pen? Don’t I NEED a new copy?! (hint, hint @quarto_livres) 😬
I’m talking about a work written by Marcel Proust and published in a quarto-sized volume, but… you’ll never guess which one… will you? 🫣
