Natsume Soseki: I am cat

Druga knjiga od sosekija, ki sem jo prebral. Precej slabša od Koprnenja; vidi se, da je bila knjiga brez plana, napisana v nadaljevanjih za časopis in ko mu zmanjka idej za pisanje, mačko preprosto utopi. Predvsem pa, maček v resnici ni nič kaj dosti podoben mačku.

    Marcel Proust: V svetu Guermantskih

    Zmaga! Uspešno sem prebral še dve knjigi tretjtega dela Proustove epopeje, 650 strani majhnega tiska. S temi knjigami imamo nekakšen čuden odnošaj. Po eni strani sovražim glavni karakter, ki je v resnici razvajen bogatun, po drugi strani me pa knjige vseeno nekako privlečejo. Celo knjigo se v resnici zelo malo zgodi. Junakova babica umre, junak se zaljubi v gospo Guermantsko, junak nekako uspe priti v stik z gospo Guermatnsko, gospa Guermantska ni nič posebnega. Stotine strani gre v eno samo večerjo pri Guermantski. Povsem najeden sem tega špasa v tem trenutku, naprej čez nekaj let: Sodoma in Gomora! To bodo še porkarije...
