I'm finally "into" The Eye of the World. The fantasy world is fun--the powerful female archtype is alive and well. I do wish I had a glossary of terms, though.
I'm still dabbling with Proust. I would like to read it more diligently; my nibbling on it here and there reminds me of slowly eating a Harry and David truffle. I would love to get wrapped up in the novel but my reading time comes in bits and pieces and very often late at night, and that pattern is much more conducive to the candy fiction I've been reading. Remembrance of Things Past is perched on the edge of the sofa. I don't put it away because that would be conceding defeat. I will read it. Sometime.
