ReemK10 (Paper Pills)’s Comments (group member since Dec 26, 2012)

ReemK10 (Paper Pills)’s comments from the The Year of Reading Proust group.

Looks to see if Jeremy is around, sees nobody and posts this: Amazon premieres 14 new television pilots (online)http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/...

Who knows, perhaps Amazon will ask Goodreads readers if a line up of books should be reprinted?

This is for everyone. Help yourself."


Flowers and food, it's going to be a fattening year.You know I was thinking of Proust last night, and wondering how he reacted to the idea of suffering. Do you think he turned to nature/Beauty and food/comfort for emotional healing?

I wanted to follow Martin but couldn't find him.

Glad that you all enjoyed the flowers! Passes a Kleenex to Fionnuala.

These are for you Jocelyne. http://www.flickr.com/photos/vickir/1...

Proust spoke the language of flowers.

Great idea Jocelyne! Perhaps we can plant any of his beloved flowers in our own gardens that will remind of us of our year of reading Proust together. We can choose either from flowers along the Méséglise Way or flowers along the Guermantes Way. See your choices:

Very nice Martin. Book sniffing? Interesting concept. I think Proust would approve.

Gosh Kalliope, you outdid me with this glorious cake. At least the boutonnière matches it! Wow, what a cake! Enjoy Cassian!

This is what I was referring to last time when I said a simple google search leads to our comments. I think the group lounge comments should remain blocked to non member of this group, and I believe they are.Removing your photo, and using a pseudonym is a good idea, but I wonder if a change will have any effect on previous posts.

Happy Birthday Marcelita!! A bouquet of cattleyas for you!

"She found something ‘quaint’ in the shape of each of her Chinese ornaments, and also in her orchids, the cattleyas especially (these being, with chrysanthemums, her favourite flowers), because they had the supreme merit of not looking in the least like other flowers, but of being made, apparently, out of scraps of silk or satin."

Thanks Richard, so much nicer to be able to visualize it like this!!
