I have two sections of books — the read and the unread — but each section exists in multiple places throughout the house. Do I frequently spend significant time searching for a book? Yes. Am I sad about that? Not at all.

So there, AI, Proust says you can never write a good book.

“So it is that a well-read man will at once begin to yawn with boredom when one speaks to him of a new "good book," because he imagines a sort of composite of all the good books that he has read, whereas a good book is something special, something un-foreseeable, and is made up not of the sum of all previous masterpieces but of something which the most thorough assimilation of every one of them would not enable him to discover, since it exists not in their sum but beyond it.”

So like I picked this up because it was conveniently on my Archipelago subscription pile and it’s the book featured next on the @onebrightbook.bsky.social podcast. Win win.
