There are books on our shelves we haven\’t read and doubtless never will, that each of us has probably put to one side in the belief that we will read them later on, perhaps even in another life. The terrible grief of the dying as they realise their last hour is upon them and they still haven\’t read Proust.
I’d rate that grief alongside wishing I had spent more time at the office.
I ‘m with Jean-Claude on this…perhaps you might have something you regret not achieving, Tim
Tim adds: Jean-Claude was being ironic…..even sarcastic. It’s not only the English who do these things you know.
I don’t know a single person who’s ever made it all the way to the end of A la recherche du temps perdu. I think I’d take the claims of anyone saying they had with a grain of salt.
