New blog section: My Bookshelf

Fred I can recommend Alain de Botton’s ‘How Proust can change your life’. It’s full of wisdom and it encouraged me to read the original which I had been afraid to do because of its sheer size. Jim

Thank a lot for this input! I would had read Proust as a French, but I didn’t had the courage yet. As I read the reviews of this book, I think that I’ll not have another choice to try it

I think I’ll really love this new section of my blog. If I can collect all your suggestions I’ll be more than happy It’s the second this week and they are more than interesting!

The paradox of human colors

In answer to:

ANTHONY WELLER MAY HAVE MET THE .00001% OF THE PEOPLE, THAT DO THIS FUNNY THING. IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY LIKE OURS, WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THESE SKINNY THINGS. BUT I DONT BLAME WELLER FOR SHARING HIS EXPERIENCE WITH US.

I just want to be clear: I only wrote this message as an observation. You seems to think that doing this “funny skinny thing” implied that you didn’t have the heart to work. There is nothing implied like this.

I can’t say that because if you check the Frenchs… they have a week of work of 35 hours (It’s a joke, it’s not?). If you check the Quebecois (french canadians) they also want it. We have notthing to teach in this field.
