Nasim Marie Jafry @nmjk.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Been reading 10:04 by Ben Lerner. I love his writing about writing and his stories within stories, reported conversations but halfway through got tired of the bombarding with facts, and started skipping pages. Like being on a thrilling merry-go-round but at some point you just have to get off. 000

Nasim Marie Jafry @nmjk.bsky.social · 31/08/2026A long time since I read a novel in French. 60 pages in. When I studied French at uni in 80s I'd look up *every* word I didn't know. Now I glide along happily understanding 80% filling in the gaps, somehow. Thanks for lending me La Vie Est Un Roman by Guillaume Musso, @craftygreenpoet.bsky.social 110
