What it's all about

Welcome to my blog!! Join me on a 365-day journey of discovery and "re-discovery" as I take up the monumental challenge of reading one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written, and in French!!
The idea was spurred by Julie Powell's "Julie & Julia" and my somewhat crazy idea to supplement my Rosetta Stone French lessons by reading Proust's "In Search..." in the original French.
Several people have looked askance (perhaps also entertaining the idea of getting me one of those nice white jackets with the sleeves that tie in back...) and said, "You've NO idea of what you're getting yourself into."
Well! Let me say that if you know exactly what you're getting into then you're NOT having an adventure. And I mean to have a GREAT adventure!!
I've absolutely no idea where this will lead, but then again, that's really the idea, isn't it?
If you've ever thought about reading this amazing work, but been intimidated by its sheer gargantuan proportions, then by all means, please join me and perhaps you'll learn a bit along the way about the fascinating man that Proust was, the times in which he lived, and perhaps find your own inspiration to pick it up anew and dive in!!
Bienvenue à m'aventure! Allons-y!!

New Additions!

Dear Readers,
As a first-time blogger, I am learning something new about blogging and setting up my blog on a daily basis. Hopefully the changes that I've added to date will increase the accessibility and functionality of my blog.

Today I added: (accessibility)
  1. RSS feed
  2. Email subscription - enter your email and read my posts without having to go to the blog site. But please do come and visit from time to time!!
  3. Followers - shows who's following the blog. 
I also moved the counter and my poll to the top where you can see them without having to scroll all the way to the bottom. Duh! 

And, for anyone who has a blog or is a blogging god, suggestions are welcome!

Look for my Day 6 post later today!

À bientôt!
Michel
