7. The last time I tried reading that book

some three or four chapters in we were still at that same dinner party, or whatever it was, and NOTHING had happened.

Sigh. I suppose I could try a chapter a day.

The version I have is Penguin Classics translation by Rosemary Edmonds. So I've got Book One, Book Two, Book Three, Book Four, and an Epilogue. I wonder if the chapter divisions are the same.
