Definitely, Scottie, you're in.
We'll read from the Swedish translation, most of us (some jerk is going for
the French, but I'll eat a thousand pages of Proust if he goes through with
it - his French is worse than mine), but whatever edition you follow from
the helicopter will probably be close enough. Feel free to contribute in any
way to our expedition. But exchange those nasty pemmicans for madeleines,
please.

to kill me with his squash racket yesterday. One centimeter from the eye.
I'd better stick to Proust full time.
