I’m reading a copy of this from 1955 so I don’t know if this is true in the newer copies but it was hilarious to get to where he finally talks to his crush and BAM it’s just ten pages of untranslated dialogue in french. thank goodness i know enough to stumble through it comfortably but imagine if i didn’t!

off to a delectable start.
just got hit with a wave of feeling connected to the countless people who have sat down in their comfy chair with their tea and their cat to read this book just like me for the last almost hundred years, isn’t that nice
