Family first. Always. Spread love ❤ in this ridiculous world.

[@LizziebelleXOX]

Aww huge congratulations on becoming an aunt 🥳✨ ! How exciting you have many years to come of beautiful memories and adventures to share with her. I’ve been trying to pick up Proust for so long, listened to part of the audio and it’s wonderful ✨✨

[@strange.lucidity]

Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful time with Proust ❤

[@hannomatt]

[@strange.lucidity]

Yes you do... ;-)

[@brunacabral4732]

[@strange.lucidity]

[@radiantchristina]

Always happy to see a new video from you. The vibes are always perfection. Congratulations on the birth of your niece. You are glowing with excitement and joy. You are going to be a wonderful auntie. Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE Madame Bovary. I'm glad you enjoyed it ! I could never get into Proust but every time you talk about him I want to give him another go. Your friend has a smooth , relaxing voice :)

[@radiantchristina]

what's the music? really like it !

[@strange.lucidity]

Thank you for your lovely comment ☺I've heard many people talking about not really knowing how to get into Proust and I can definitely understand why. It's not always easy. I'm thinking about making a video on how to get into Proust. Could be cool. The music is "Ice & Fire" by King Canyon. All the best to you!

That Proust collection looks great! Keen to hear your thoughts on the French vs English.

[@rowenaroberta5244]

Really liked the German part at the end 😊 and also the bit where you read Proust in French with the English translation in the background! I studied Languages and Foreign Literatures, both in high school and university and I really like your videos 😊

[@strange.lucidity]

Amazing! Do you understand German? My friend and I are thinking about starting a podcast (in English though) All the best to you!

[@rowenaroberta5244]

@@strange.lucidity Yes, I have studied German in high school and at the university and whenever I can I go to Germany and Austria 😊

Another wonderful video! Congratulations! On your niece and on Proust! Being an uncle is my favorite role in the world. My reading group starts volume 5 tomorrow - 10 pages each day. I’m already having moments where I dread being finished with all seven volumes. But then I can start again. I don’t know what was being discussed by you and your friend at the end but it sounded like a wonderful conversation. I think “philosophy of art” came across the language divide. Lovely way to spend an evening. Good luck with exams!!!

[@strange.lucidity]

Aw thank you! Good thing that Proust reads like a loop. When you finish you want to start right over again. I know because I had to read the ending for my "time and memory" course last semester. In German. I cried my eyes out. You're gonna die ;-)

Congratulations! (For the niece AND the Proust)

Bonne lecture.❤

[@Vyborne]

C'est avec grand intérêt que j'écoute ta lisant de Proust. Cela me donne la motivation encore le lire. C'est difficile aujourd'hui parce que nous avons tant nous distraire. Je te remercie pour le vidéo: Je suis étudiant de l'allemand aussi. -- an African-American man in New York, USA. J'adore ta ris. Je t'embrasse.

[@robertmueller2023]

Me and my petitioners like video books on flash drive the best.

Hello, quand le français n'est pas ta langue première, je trouves que ceux qui la parle ça sonne tellement beau versus si moi je parle anglais lol c'est beaucoup moins joli. Bravo c'est pas facile le français et j'ai une question, est ce que tu fais la traduction anglaise dans ta tête ou tu peux comprendre aisément sans ? Merci et bon dimanche ❤

[@strange.lucidity]

Aw merci beaucoup. Quand je connais un texte, je ne le traduis pas dans ma tête. J'essaie alors de toujours lire une traduction d'abord. Mais cela dépend beaucoup de mon niveau de français à ce moment-là... ça change tout le temps 😅

Der Herr "Philosoph" am Ende des Videos verliert sich in seiner eigenen Argumentation. Und dann das kindische Gelache... Vielleicht war Wein im Spiel. Wein ohne tiefe Einsichten. Na ja, du bist noch jung.

In search of lost books, Volume one: Package lost Volume seven: Books regained Currently making my way through Swann's way, or "Veien til Swann" since I'm reading the norwegian translation by Anne-Lise Amadou, and I am almost finished with the second part, Swann in love (Swanns kjærlighet). I'm enjoying it immensely, and most importantly, savoring and analyzing Its contents. And if I may let me quote the opening to Veien til Swann: Lenge gikk jeg tidlig til sengs. Noen ganger hadde jeg knapt slukket lyset før øynene mine gled igjen, så fort at jeg ikke engang fikk tid til å tenke: "Nå sovner jeg." Og en halv time senere ble jeg vekket av tanken på at det visst var på tide å sove. Jeg ville legge fra meg boken som jeg trodde jeg ennå holdt i hånden, og blåse ut lyset; i søvne hadde jeg fortsatt å tenke på det jeg nettopp hadde lest, men disse tankene hadde tatt en spesiell vending; det forekom meg at jeg selv var det som boken berettet om: en kirke, en kvartett, striden mellom Frans den første og Karl den femte.
