By Zweig I read The World of Yesterday, which was a good way to get into the head of late 1800s/early 1900s Europe, though felt very skimmable at times (not into personal memoirs much). I just started Proust's third volume, The Guermantes Way, which I am really enjoying.

I'm on vol. III of "In Search of Lost Time." Perfect way to start the year in reading.

I'm ngl I've forgotten many parts of the story, I dozed off in others, and it was difficult to understand but I still really enjoyed the experience of reading Swann's Way. Now that we're in the middle of summer I'm remembering this book because that's the season where it takes place. I long for my summers to be as languid as I felt it was in the book, where I can just lounge around outside, take strolls, and be curious about strangers. Speaking of taking strolls, that part of the book where Marcel takes evening walks with his family felt startingly personal because I do the same every single dayyy. When I graduate I'm going to miss all these mundane routines with family and current life in general. Reading Swann's Way is comforting for me and I wish transported into that world. I'm definitely going to re-read it and I also have the other books to slowly get through. If anyone has any similar books to recommend please lmk!!

They look good, save floor space, are modular, high quality, and will last a lifetime. You can switch out any of the shelves for a different size, drawers, or even a small desk. The process of measuring your space and having a 1:1 conversation with a planner feels very fancy.
I'm looking forward to carrying these shelves with me as I get older.
